StartInteractiv eClientProcess and CreateProcessWi thLogonW

None

What's the difference between StartInteractiv eClientProcess in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...08(VS.85).aspx, and
CreateProcessWi thLogonW?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...31(VS.85).aspx

They look different, e.g. it seems that CreateProcessWi thLogonW requires
that the user account must be allowed to log on interactively.

Hello,

The difference is that we cannot call CreateProcessWi thLogonW from a
process that is running under the LocalSystem account, because the function
uses the logon SID in the caller token, and the token for the LocalSystem
account does not contain this SID. As an alternative, use the
CreateProcessAs User and LogonUser functions, which is what
StartInteractiv eClientProcess does for us.
