Re: netlogon service and LogonUser() API function

there must be a way to authenticate credentials for a domain without
being a member of it.
because when joining a domain, one of the tasks that performed, is
authentication to it. how does the os authenticate with the domain
controller in order to join the domain (before it is part of the
domain)?

my purpose is to create an application that can perform multiple
"administrator tasks" in multiple computers that are part of multiple
domains.
i've succeeded to perform those tasks in one domain, when my computer
is part of it (the proccess used "logonuser()" to get administrator
credentials). when i tried to logon to other domains, or when i used a
computer in a workgroup, my application failed to get administrator
credentials in the domain.

maybe there's other way to get administrator credentials of a certain
domain (without being part of it)?
or maybe the application should perform :join a domain, authenticate,
perform tasks, leave domain? (is it possible?)

thanx in advance,
Ben
