CreateProcessWi thLogonW's process does not have the envrironmentvar iables

Hi,
I am trying to create a process with the API: CreateProcessWi thLogonW.
The
process (say, CMD.EXE) which gets created doesnt have the environment
variables which I have explicitly passed into it as the parameter. The
same
environment block works for CreateProcessAs User, but doesnt give me
the same
results when used with CreateProcessWi thLogonW(). The difference in
the list
of the environment variables could be seen using the "set" command in
the
command prompts that I am creating using the APIs. (I am getting only
a few environment variables, the rest are not getting available to the
newly created process)
I really would appreciate any help regarding this.

Many thanks in advance,
Ashish

I'm trying to run an application under another user within a winform app writen in C#.

I'm sure it's one of the "Enhanced security features" of service pack 2, but I can't...

I am attempting to use CreateProcessWithLogonW from the server-side code of a web page (yes, I want to create a process on the server) and not having much luck. I am attempting to run VPScan, an unsupported command-line virus scanner from Symantec, to check an uploaded file for viruses. At first, I wrapped VPScan with a DLL and ran it as a COM+ component and found that it would work only when someone was logged on and it was set to run...

Hi! I'm trying to start a process with different credentials. But I cannot even compile my code as the compiler (VC++.NET) says "error C3861: 'CreateProcessWithLogonW': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup". I have included the following headers etc, which I belive should be sufficient: #include "stdafx.h"

Hello, I posted this in the aspnet.security group a few days ago but haven't received any feedback, so I thought I would try this group. Apologies if this is the wrong place. I am developing an ASP.NET application that allows users to enter data using web forms, then run an EXE when they click the appropriate button. The EXE needs certain security rights not available to the ASPNET user.

What's the difference between StartInteractiveClientProcess in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379608(VS.85).aspx, and CreateProcessWithLogonW? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682431(VS.85).aspx They look different, e.g. it seems that CreateProcessWithLogonW requires that the user account must be allowed to log on interactively.
