Copy file to remote computer using remote admin credentials
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can use LogonUser to impersonate a local group also not only domain accounts.
From the net:
Imports System
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Security.Principal
Imports System.Security.Permissions
Public Class Form1
<DllImport("advapi32.DLL", SetLastError:=True)> _
Public Shared Function LogonUser(ByVal lpszUsername As String, ByVal lpszDomain As String, _
ByVal lpszPassword As String, ByVal dwLogonType As Integer, ByVal dwLogonProvider As Integer, _
ByRef phToken As IntPtr) As Integer
End Function
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim admin_token As IntPtr
Dim wid_current As WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
Dim wid_admin As WindowsIdentity = Nothing
Dim wic As WindowsImpersonationContext = Nothing
Try
MessageBox.Show("Copying file...")
If LogonUser("Local Admin name", "Local computer name", "pwd", 9, 0, admin_token) <> 0 Then
wid_admin = New WindowsIdentity(admin_token)
wic = wid_admin.Impersonate()
System.IO.File.Copy("C:\right.bmp", "\\157.60.113.28\testnew\right.bmp", True)
MessageBox.Show("Copy succeeded")
Else
MessageBox.Show("Copy Failed")
End If
Catch se As System.Exception
Dim ret As Integer = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()
MessageBox.Show(ret.ToString(), "Error code: " + ret.ToString())
MessageBox.Show(se.Message)
Finally
If wic IsNot Nothing Then
wic.Undo()
End If
End Try
End Sub
End Class
WNetAddConnection2 will do the trick. Just use an empty string for the local device name, to avoid mapping a drive. You also want to make sure and close the connection when you're done. I wrap it into a NetworkConnection class that implements IDisposable.
