[Solved] User Impersonation Not Working

Post by Lope »

UltraVNC 1.0.9.6
OS: Windows 2000 (also experienced this with XP)

UltraVNC running as a service, user 'Administrator'.

When logged in as a user, the UltraVNC File Transfer utility only has user privelages, when logged in as Administrator, the File Transfer utility has Administrator privelages.

No impersonation going on?

I think that's the way impersonation is SUPPOSED to work -- limiting your file transfer rights, even though the service has administrative rights.

I'm not sure though.

no impersonation -> running as service-> full acces
impersonation= desktop user

Thanks!
