CreateProcessAsUser driving me crazy
I need to have my program launch another program (test.exe) as another user (dummyuser). My code works until I get to the point of actually launching the test.exe program. At that point I get a 0x522 error - A required privilege is not held by the client.
If I log in as dummyuser, the I can run the test.exe program without problem. So, I believe the user has the permissions it needs
I've also tried an example from MSDN, and two from bulletin boards. All have the same problem.
My code relies on default values for some of the gory details, like winstation and desktop. The sample code I tried implemented them in detail with the same result. So, I don't think that's the problem.
I can't understand the difference between what my program does and what happens if I login in as dummyuser.
Here's my latest code:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLE h;
if( !LogonUser("dummyuser","dummydomain","dummypassword" ,LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE,LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAUL
T, &h))
{
DWORD dwErr = GetLastError();
return FALSE;
}
char * buffer = (char *) malloc(256);
DWORD size = 256;
if (GetUserName(buffer,&size))
{
TRACE0( buffer); /// This shows my original user name
TRACE0("\r\n");
}
if (!ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(h))
{
DWORD dwErr = GetLastError();
return FALSE;
}
size = 256;
if (GetUserName(buffer,&size))
{
TRACE0( buffer); /// This shows current user is dummyuser
TRACE0("\r\n");
}
STARTUPINFO st;
memset(&st,0,sizeof(st);
st.cb = sizeof(st);
//"\\Odyctx00\dDesktop\odyssey17.exe"
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
if (!CreateProcessAsUser(h,"C:\\test.exe" ,"",
NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,NULL,&st, &pi))
{
DWORD dwErr = GetLastError(); /// dwErr = 0x522
return FALSE;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for any help or advice on this one. Its been driving me nuts.

I have two threads that need to insert new items to the same tree control on win nt.
If the windows tree control thread safe or should I synchronize the insert operation ?
Actually it would be easier to ask it like this.
Is ::InsertItem api that is used to insert new items thread safe ?
Does windows synchronize the operation ?
Thanks,
Orcun Colak

If you are using MFC, the objects are not thread-safe at the object level, only at the class level.
|
|
|
|
|
If you use SendMessage or PostMessage the control is thread-safe, because Windows guarantees that message handling is thread-safe. The MFC objects that wrap controls (like CTreeCtrl) do not work across thread boundaries.
Software Zen: delete this;

TN062: Message Reflection for Windows Controls
RE: _EX version of things:
"If the handler returns TRUE, the message will be handled by the parent as well, while a call that returns FALSE does not allow the parent to handle it."
According to my own experiments, they have it backwards. - Parent handler will run when FALSE is returned!
Can anyone confirm this?
|

My MSDN for .NET says:
If the handler returns FALSE, the message will be handled by the parent as well, while a call that returns TRUE does not allow the parent to handle it. Note that the reflected message is handled before the notification message.
...and this is right, so you are right as well.

Hi i have the below piece of code which
i use to query a table in my database with ado
however i would like to know how many records this query pulls back
does any one know how to do it, im a bit of a novice, i know its something
to do with using RecordCount, but im stuck on how to use it
thanks
si 
strSQL.Format("Select * from temp2 where surname like '"+m_eind_searchnme+"'");
_variant_t vstrSQL;
vstrSQL.ChangeType(VT_BSTR);
vstrSQL = strSQL;
MySet.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
MySet->Open(vstrSQL,MyDb.GetInterfacePtr(),adOpenDynamic,adLockOptimistic,adCmdText);

RecordCount doesn't always work and I think it has to do with the database. However, if you want to know all the records that you have pulled there are two different ways (in case RecordCount doesn't work).
// The first one is to iterate throuch each recordset
// pRs is an object of RecordsetPtr_
pRs->MoveFirst()
nCounter = 0;
while( pRs->GetEOF() == FALSE )
{
nCounter++;
pRs->MoveNext();
}
// The second method is to use SQL statements by using
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Total FROM Table WHERE condition
// Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

Hi,
I am trying to create a grid control using CListCtrl and my main problem right now is getting the control to display the cells in the first columns as button.
I'm not sure if this is the right way, maybe there is a way to create header for the rows just like the columns.
ANy ideas on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Try the customdraw service. You will have total freedom for drawing the first column cells however you like.

I'm already using Custom Draw, but I'm not sure on how to create row headers.
Thanks

As we all know, when windows loading, explorer.exe will initialize the desktop,taskbar etc.
I write a progrom which uses system tray icon.But there is a problem. when the explorer.exe is killed or error corrupt, when the taskbar is reinitialized, the icon which added by my program is dispeared.
How can I get the notification when the explorer.exe is initialized, So as I can put my icon on system tray again just like the system process "Sound.exe" or "Network"?
Thanks.

Just register TaskbarCreated, it sent every time top explorer restarted

Hi, everyone!
Sometimes we use pointer as the parameter type and sometimes
we use reference as the parameter type.
I think using reference is better than using object directly.
Since it can save memory and operation (assignment operator).
But what about pointer V.S. reference? I want to know in which
case should I use pointer and in which case should I use reference.
Here are two samples,
Using reference,
--------
ostream& operator << (ostream&, ObjectType);
--------
Using pointer
--------
MemPoolAddSize (char*, size_t)
--------
I want to know your suggestions about pointer v.s. reference.
What is the general consideration about when using pointer and
when using reference?
Thanks in advance,
George

I use a rule from Scott Meyers: if the referenced-to object must always exist, use a reference; if you want to allow for a non-existing reference (NULL), use a pointer. Note that in your case the only way to use C strings is through a pointer to char.

That's a very good description!

Thanks, João buddy!
What means "if you want to allow for a non-existing reference
(NULL), use a pointer" in your reply?
regards,
George

It means that if you want to allow NULL argument for your function (which means "no object"), use a pointer. The reference-based function argument requires you to pass an existing object and not the NULL value.
Happy Easter!

I want to implement an object pooling scheme for one of my C++ classes that are created and deleted frequently (so much as to cause a performance degradation). I am thinking about creating a pool and keep it in a static list, and manage the list instead of actually calling new and delete every time.
Is this recommended for improving performance OR is there a better alternative apporach?

Some of our intense code uses object pooling, and in our case it definately improves performance. We have a log and it will show that the object pooling removed the need for thousands upon thousands of calls to new (these are comm message objects, which would get created and deleted quite frequently when comm is heavy). The key is finding the right number of objects to store in your pool, so that you aren't using too much unnecessary memory, and so that your pool doesn't run out all the time. It will probably take some tuning.
If you are wary of it, then just try implementing it (it shouldn't be too bad). If profiling shows significant performance gains, it would be a good idea for you. As for alternative approaches, I don't really know of any off the top of my head.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I made one implementation already. My objects are very small and the number of objects that are in memory at any time is not significantly high. To my surprise, my application improved more than 20% in performance. I am planning to post an article this weekend with the code.
Currently, the pool grows to the maximum number of objects of the class that have ever been in memory. I want to put in some code to release some of these objects, if they are not being used. Anyway. it is not important to me at this moment because memory usage is not very huge.

Sounds good. 20% is a nice gain, and I look forward to your article.
