CreateProcess on a UNC path failing.

Hi,

I am trying to run a exe present in the UNC path using CreateProcess, specifying the full UNC path and the parameters as the arguments to the API.

CreateProcess(strConfigUtilPath.c_str(),(LPWSTR)strParams.c_str(),NULL,NULL,FALSE,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi)

On Windows 7 this returns me the error 1326 - log on failure. To counter this I tried to use NetUseAdd() to establish the connection before calling CreateProcess().

USE_INFO_2 UserInfo = {0};
	UserInfo.ui2_local = L"\0";
        UserInfo.ui2_remote = L"\\\\10.195.5.195\\ConfigUtil";
	UserInfo.ui2_password =  (LPWSTR)L"password";
	UserInfo.ui2_asg_type = USE_DISKDEV/*USE_IPC*/;
	UserInfo.ui2_username =  (LPWSTR)L"Someuser";
	UserInfo.ui2_domainname        =  L"Somedomain";
	UserInfo.ui2_refcount=0;
	UserInfo.ui2_status =0;
	UserInfo.ui2_usecount=0;
	DWORD ParmError=0;
	NET_API_STATUS status = NetUseAdd(szServerName,2,(LPBYTE)&UserInfo,&ParmError);

But NetUseAdd() also returns the same error code 1326.

What am I doing wrong? How can I make this work ? Any other way to achieve this job?
