Re: LoadUserProfile failing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your reply, looks like have to do some redesign :(

What I gorgot to add to my question is this. Does the access check that
Windows performs somewhere only apply to the process token ? E.g. we tried
to fix this problem
by performing the LoadUserProfile when Impersonating an account with
administrative
privileges but even that didnt solve the problem. Is this what you expected
as well ?

Thanks again,

Jos

It is True Jos. In fact it's also true for a process wanting to load its
_own_ profile, which strikes me as a bit odd. For instance, a COM+ server
application cannot ensure its own profile is loaded unless its configured
account has admin privileges

Hi all,

MSDN states that starting from XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 you can
only
call LoadUserProfile from within a process that is running with
administrative privileges
or as LocalSystem.

Can someone confirm that this is indeed true ? I am running a process as
normal
user but with the SeRestoreName and SebackupName privileges and it indeed
does not work. In the UserEnv logging I see very low level calls failing
with access denied (Inside DropClientContext). Does anyone have a clue
what
changed in SP2 that makes non-administrator calls to LoadUserProfile fail
?

Thanks a lot,
Jos
