Process.start() to call an exe in remote system

[kk]

hello to all,

I want to call an exe file on other system(on the same LAN)though a
webservice(by placing the dll).For that i use the following code in
C#......

Process ps = new Process();
ps.StartInfo.FileName = exeFilePath
ps.StartInfo.Arguments = arguments;
ps.Start();
ps.WaitForExit();

It calls the exe file that i can see it in TaskManager.But it doesn't
execute.It remains untill i have to kill that process.But in console
application the same code works fine.If the webservice is in the same
system it works properly.If i copy the dll and put it somewhere else i
doesn't work.I think it is a security problem.

I don't want webconfig file....
(There we can put i impersonate = "true")

Can anyone help me on this issue.........

Thanks

Kartik,

Is that exe running under aspnet user name or what???

If that exe may need network access then it might be the case that running
on aspnet user wont give access to the network resource.

Thanks for your reply .

The exe runs under the userName NETWORK SERVICE.But i want that to be
ADMINISTRATOR.Is there any option to give administrator permission
through Process.Start() method...

[Gujju]

So its network service ie windows 2003 server....
As the process.start will invoke and take the parent username...
so either u run the parent as administrator or use api to invoke a process
under a username.

and have a look at this post as well..

If i execute the webservice it invoke the exe by its userName as
NETWORK SERVICE.But i need to execute the exe with ADMINISTRATOR
Permission

KK i know that... it uses Network service as the webservice is going to run
on iis which is running under network service so all the exes which are
invoked within from the web service would be invoked by network service as
the parent(IIS process) is running NETwork Service.

To solve this u need to run the IIS under a specified user (may by admin or
any othew domain user which can access and process your exe)

On windows 2003 you can change the application pool to run under a specified
domain controlled username.

I also need to aware you that dont run IIS under admin. But just create a
domain account which has less previlages and run the whole iis to run under
that username
