Windows Service Credentials VB.NET

Hi all,

First of all, sorry about my english :-)

I created a Windows Service with the function of watch some folders,
and if exists, copy all files of those folders to a central server.
The problem it's that the central server it's not in the domain, it is
isolated and I need to copy files to there. I want kown if there is a
way to do this...I need acquire credentials only when I try to copy
files. In the end of this copy I lose the credentials.

There is any way to do this?

Remember that the windows service is running on a computer in one
domain, and the central server is not in domain...it's a
workgroup...so, I need to acquire the credentials of administrator, in
example, to copy files.

I NEED HELP...I don't know how to do this
Best Regards,
JCorreia

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
