Hi all,
I run into some problems when trying to copy a file to a remote
machine.
I first create with WMI a share on the remote machine (works fine),
then impersonate with admin rights and try to copy the file using the
File.Copy method. But the exception always returns a "(local)fil e not
found" message. Could someone give me a hint where I make a mistake in
the following code ? many thx in advance :)
Ulf
code :
IntPtr tokenHandle = new IntPtr(0);
tokenHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
LogonUser(UserN ame, HostName, Password, 2, 0, ref tokenHandle);
WindowsIdentity newId = new WindowsIdentity (tokenHandle);
WindowsImperson ationContext newUser = newId.Impersona te();
try
{
File.Copy(fileP ath,"\\\\" + HostName + "\\" + shareName + "\\" +
fileName,true);
}
catch(Exception copyEx)
{
MessageBox.Show ("Copy failure\n" + copyEx.Message, HostName);
}
finally
{
newUser.Undo();
} 4 3874
Hi,
Please make sure the user whom you impresonate has enough rights to access
the file on the local machine.

You are impersonating to gain access to the remote resource, but the
impersonated user is not a local account so you are screwed.
One way to solve this, provided you are running XP or higher, is to create a
logon token with "split identity", that is using
LOGON32_LOGON_N EW_CREDENTIALS as dwLogonType (value 3) and the
LOGON32_PROVIDE R_WINNT50 dwLogonProvider (value 3).

Hi Willy,
thx for your advice, always appreciated. I changed my code to
LogonUser(UserN ame, HostName, Password, 9, 3, ref tokenHandle);
which works fine as long as I connect from XP to XP boxes. But when the
local machine is W2K and the remote one XP, I always get Logon
failures. I tried several different dwLogonType/dwLongonProvide r
combinations, but with no success. Is there something special to be
done when connecting from W2K to XP ?
thx,
Ulf
That's why I said XP and higher only, that means it's not supprted on W2K.
The only way to get this done is by using a domain account logon, but I
guess you don't run in a domain, so the only thing which is left is to
establish a network session with the remote share or remote server using
"net use" command line command.
net use \\server\share password /user:username
where username and password are the remote users credentials.
Once you have this use record in your logon session you can simply copy
files from local disks to the remote share using the UNC path.
Willy.

I need to do a query into some remote registry, workstation PCs as well

Previously, i was using the native WMI COM objects like this:
objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
objService = objLocator.ConnectServer(ComputerName, "root\default", _
strUserName, _

objService.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3

Dll written in VB.NET 2003 to start a command remotely.
You can :

- launch the command providing a timeout in seconds, it will wait until

command is killed. (Ex. 2)
- launch the command and continue your processing after the command has
been started remotely (Ex. 3).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
