impersonation

This is a question that continues to haunt me... In an local Intranet environment, are we doomed to use "Classic" pipeline mode in our App Pool if we want to use Impersonate our Windows domain users, or is there a new way to declaratively "run as" them (so-to-speak)? My goal is to use Windows Authentication for local web applications on my Intranet so users can authenticate and run apps under their active directory account (principle). Every time I try this (Using the NetworkService identity of course), I get this error: Thanks! ;) I wrote a small app to display the current user's network

I am new to wix installer. I have developed a set-up using wix installer for my application and I need to execute a Custom Action to run a command in cmd.exe. In XP it works fine.

UAC is enabled on the system and Calling LogonUser using the credentials with a LogonType of LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, seems to return a restricted token instead of a full token. This is causing the administrative task i'm trying to do to fail. What is the right way to call LogonUser in this situation so that a full token is returned instead of an restricted token?

I am using the code to impersonate a user account to get access to a file share. public class Impersonator : IDisposable { #region Public methods. // ------------------------------------------------------------------ /// <summary> /// Constructor.
