Summary: Out of Topic: set user ID equivalent in Windows 2000

2007-12-24 22:11:00

Thanks go to Scott Birl, Paul Fotim Gary Mulder and Jonathan Young.

The conclusion is cygwin.dll utilities will not help,

One other options is
"only option I can think of is to convert the operation to a service and
give the service the relevant user parameters."

or similar approach:
There is also an add-on service that MS provides (I forget
the name, it is in the 2000 Resource Kit - an extra product) that can be
configured to run an application. ie. it is a service wrapper that wraps an
application so as to enable that application to run as if was a service.

Thanks microsnot!
