I am trying to figure out a way to change the SQLSERVERAGENT service Logon password with one of my VB2008 applications. I can't seem to find any place in the registry were the password is stored and can find any solution other than manually going into the service and changing it myself.
View 12 RepliesI am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants"
Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000
Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1

I am using VB.NET 2008.
On this Windows 7 Professional SP1 machine, when I run the following code in the program
FileCopy(sServer & "loglog.txt", Application.StartupPath & "log.txt")
I got the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
sServer is 1 of our server machine.
The Windows 7 machine already logged in to the sServer as administrator, and it also login to the Windows 7 machine as administrator. I run the VB program as Administrator (right click - Run as Administrator).
In the Windows 7 machine I can go to Windows explorer and copy the file manually from the sServer machine to the Application.StartupPath folder.
When my application starts, one of the first thing it does is load a list box with data from an Excel file stored on our server.To prevent an issue I had with two or moreengineers trying to load the data from the same file at the same time, I added code that copied the Excel file to a temporary file (which is,hen, deleted when the data load is done).This has been working fine up until last week. Last week our company moved to a new building.The move included servers and all. Suddenly I'm getting inundatedwith complaints from engineers about my application.It seems that they started getting the following error
View 1 RepliesThis might seem obvious but I was doing some research and I was wondering if a service application start an executable. I know an .exe cannot start without some sort of logon but I was wondering if it was possible to work around this by having my service call it.

View 8 RepliesI created a program with all our clients user name's and password that will be used to log on a web page from our company so i can modify there settings. So far so good i created a form with a combo box to pick a name and then a simple click on the button opens form2 with a browser in it. This browser automatic logs on the page it loads. You should say mission accomplished and we are done........ not yet this stupid page got something nasty in it. If i want to open our clients reports it opens in a new browser and this is something i can't change. So basically what happens if i click the report it opens in the standard user defined browser installed on my machine. This means i get a log in screen again cause my session is in the VB.net browser.
Let me show the code i use at moment that i use to auto log on. For some reasons i did cut out the URL's out of my code. (privacy, security etc.)

I am planning on creating a service that measures the bootup time for a computer. It would go something like this:
1. Service starts and waits for CTRL+ALT+DEL screen
2. Timer starts when logon screen appears
3. User logs in and timer stops
4. Service waits for process X to start
5. Process X starts and service gets System.Environment.TickCount
6. Service subtracts step 3 ticks from tickcount
The reason for the logon screen timer is I don't want to measure if the user booted up and went for coffee or something and shows up 20 mins later to log in. Is there any way for the service to detect when the logon screen is present and when it's gone?
I am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.

I'm trying to create a password change form for my company's vendors. There are a couple of scenarios I could encounter doing this:
1 - User enters invalid current password
2 - New passwords do not match
3 - User's account is locked
4 - User cannot authenticate because password is expired
It's case 4 that I'm struggling with, because their is no way for me to take the password the user entered and verify it against active directory without getting an error.

I have an application that authenticates against a third party web service by sending a username and password. At the moment I'm typing the password on a winform each time I start the application - but I need it to login automatically.
I'd like to store the username/password somewhat more securely than
Dim username as String = "username"
Dim password as String = "password"
I understand that I probably won't stop a determined hacker with access to my source code, but storing them as plaintext feels wrong. I've found some similar questions on here but none that provide me with an answer I can use.
Edit: The web service isn't mine, it's an API that requires me to login to use.
