DCOM...? Problem......?

[Bashir Irfan Malik]

Hi : Hope you are familiar with DBMON utility I want to use it with DCOM to monitor remote OutputDebugString messages. If I simply use CoCreateInstanceEx with COAUTHINFO as NULL then the mutex created in my server process access the OutputDebugString messages in two scenarios only. 1. The client ( network )user is the local admin of the server machine 2. The client and server machine users are same ( I mean same users not same groups )... I used COAUTHINFO and COAUTHIDENTITY from the client ( where I could always pass the user name and password of the local admin of the remote computer ). But when I do it It has got strange results. 1. I only succeed if on the client machine I am any network user and I have given the user name and passwd of the local admin of the remote machine and the user logged on the server also belong to the local admin groups of the server pc. Now the second condition above, which was working previously does not work any more now. why ,,,, I am totaly confused . 2. Does it haveanything to do with the creation of the filemapping object remotely which is responsible for signaling the DBWIN_BUFFER_READY event to indicate that a OutputDebugStrng message is captured. I have supplied security identifiers as NULL in the DBMON code. In case you are not familiar with DBMON or its code . It is available in Platform SDK samples and the code is one cpp file with 2 or 3 pages max and the very easy for a person of your calliber... RE .. I am desperate ....
