    Does the account that tries to impersonate hold the "Impersonate after Authentication" privilege?

     Hi,
     
     i am using LogonUser function with LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE and other
     parameters. using DuplicateToken function with securitypermissions = 2 and
     creating WindowsIdentity object with the duplicatetoken obtained from
     DuplicateToken function.
     i am trying to impersonate but is gives error saying "unable to
     impersonate", i would like to know all the reasons why
     windowsIdentity.Impersonate() fails saying "Unable to impersonate".
     
     Thanks
