kill a process with insufficient user permissions

Markus Poehler

Hi
my program should run on terminal server. I open Acrobat process and I
have to kill them at some points in my application. This fails cause
of insufficient rights on terminal server.

the lines:
Dim p As New Process
For Each p In Process.GetProc esses
If LCase(p.Process Name) = "acrord32" Then
'p.Kill()
'p.Close()
End If
Next

The error:

************** Exeption: **************

************** JIT-Debugging **************
To aktivate the JIT debugging you have to define the jitdebugging
value in the part sstem.windows.f orms in the config file of the
application or of the computer (machine.config ).
The Application must be compiled with activated debugging.
e.g.:
<configuratio n>
<system.windows .forms jitDebugging="t rue" />
</configuration>

If JIT dedugging is activated all exeptions will be send to the JIT
debugger, that is registered on the computer, and will not be handeled
of this dialogue window.

MY QUESTION:
Howto realize that the user can KILL or CLOSE or however the acrobat
process?

How to use File.Exists and Handle Insufficient Permissions

by: Chris Fink | last post by:

I am using the System.IO.File class to determine if a file exists on a network share. The File.Exists method keeps returning false, even though the file does exist. The MSDN documentation states, "If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to read the specified file, no exception is thrown and the method returns false regardless of the existence of path."

How? Granting elevated privileges to a web service / kill a process

by: Lee Gillie | last post by:

I need to be able to kill a process programmatically under ASP.NET. IIS runs under the local system account. The user accessing the web is using anonymous access. We would prefer NOT to grant elevated security to the proxy used for anonymous access. Is there a way to either establish a temporary security context, programmatically for the .NET Framework Process.Kill to operate under? Or perhaps a way to give the compiled binary produced...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
