Hi,
I have written a Windows Service component in C# which manages processes on
the server. The code is required to terminate these processes when they
timeout. The Windows Service runs under the SYSTEM account. I check in code
whether the user belongs to the Administrators group using the
WindowsPrincipl e class which it does. When it comes to terminating the
processes using the Process class, I am not able to terminate the processes.
If I restart the service to run under the local Administrator's account, I
am able to terminate the processes? It doesn't really make any sense as both
users are part of the Administrators group.
Windows Server 2003 runs SP1, .NET 1.1.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Simon. 2 1833
Update:
It turns out this is happening on one Windows 2003 Server machine.
I have tested this on my Virtual PC and it works!?!
Regards
Simon.

SYSTEM is a pseudo account, it doesn't really exists in the account
database, so considering it a member of Administrators is not correct.
In order to be able to kill another process, the caller needs the
"SeDebugPrivile ge", "Administrators " do have this privilege by default. So
if you wan't to be able to kill other processes, you have to add SYSTEM to
the "Debug programs" entry in Local Security Settings - Local Policies -
User Rights Assignment, or you have to enable this privilege from code
(through PInvoke).

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
