On XP or 2000

Run - Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy

Choose - Local Policies, User Rights Assignment from the tree

"Act as part of OS" should be the second entry on the right hand pane

  Thanks for the response.

  How / Where do I set the "Act as part of the operating system" privilege?

  Is it set on Web.Config ?

  Thanks in advance

    Hethu,

    Try granting the user under which the process is running the "Act as part of the operating system" privilege.

      I want to access a UNC shared folder from a WebService.
      To do this, I impersonate the Asp.NET process in Web.config as below:

          <identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\username" password="password" />

      The user has Admin rights on the local machine.

      However, this generates the following error:

      "Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'A required privilege is not held by the client."

      Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
      Thanks
      Hethu
