Error in Impersonation โ€“ different domain account.

Aug 25 2010 7:04 AM


Hi

I am trying to stop a windows service in a server(on different domain) from my C#.NET windows application using ServiceController

I am getting following error

Inner Exception:

{"Access is denied"}

Exception Message:

"Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'x.y.z.a'. This operation might require other privileges."

Enviroment:

      Windows application running on Windows 7, C#.NET, 3.5 on "ABC" DOMAIN

      Target service running on Windows 2003 server. on "XYZ" DOMAIN

      Port 445,135 opened between two systems

Code:

      ServiceController lo_WinSC = new ServiceController();

      lo_WinSC.MachineName = "SYSTEMIPAddress";

      lo_WinSC.ServiceName = "ServiceToBeStopped";

Some forum suggesting to impersonate account of target domain but failed to Impersonate. Error: "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"

 

Question 1: Is it possibile to impersonate account of different domain. i.e My application running on "XYZ" domain, I would like to impersonate an account "ABC" domain. Note: Port LDAP port 389 is opened between two systems. Is possbile, help me with the above error. If not, any suggestions for my primary problem.

 

Question 2: For impersonating any specific port needs to be opened between application system and Domain controller/target server.

Question 3: Is there any other way to solve my primary problem or Is there any way to pass login credentail in ServiceController
