From what I can see 'ServiceController' doesn't have the option to pull the 'Log On As' information from local Windows Services.
Currently I'm using ServiceController to provide me with the Display Name of the service and the current status but I would also like to pull in the 'Log On As' information too.
I did see wmic can get this information from startname using:
wmic service get name,startname
Currently this is my code:
public string GetLocalServices()
{
var sc = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController();
ServiceController[] svcList = ServiceController.GetServices();
try
{
foreach (ServiceController service in ServiceController.GetServices())
{
string serviceDisplayName = service.DisplayName;
string status = service.Status.ToString();
var serviceDetails = "Display Name: " + serviceDisplayName + "Service Status: " + status + "\r\n" + "\r\n";
File.AppendAllText(Path.Combine(_TempPath, #"LocalServices.txt"), serviceDetails.ToString());
}
return "Retrieving Local Services Information complete.";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return string.Concat("!!! Exception: Unable to gather information on local services ", ex.Message);
}
}
Is anyone aware of how I can query wmic in this class and append this to the serviceDetails variable so I can print out the Log On As information too?

How do you grant someone access to select Reporting Services from the drop down within Management Studio as per the below image.
Also, I have a colleague who has full admin access to this however when they run the below with the credentials set to DefaultCredentials we seem still be getting an error:
namespace ReportingServicesJobsUtility
{
public class Program

public static void Main(string[] args)

ListJobSSRS();
}
public static void ListJobSSRS()
{
//create instance of ReportingService2010 called server

//user credentials running application to be used
rs.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//rs.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("","");
//create array of jobs
Job[] jobs = null;
try
{
jobs = rs.ListJobs();
ListRunningJobs(jobs);
}
catch (SoapException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString());
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
//make this a void?
public static bool ListRunningJobs(server.Job[] jobs)
{
int runningJobCount = 0;
Console.WriteLine("Current Jobs");
Console.WriteLine("================================" + Environment.NewLine);
server.Job job = default(server.Job);
foreach (var j in jobs)

runningJobCount += 1;
}
Console.Write("There are {0} running jobs. ", runningJobCount);
//returning a true for no reason
return true;
}
}
}
The error message is as follows and we believe this is down to credentials, unless anyone can also shed some light on this?
edit
If I use rs.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(#"developmentserver\Administrator","password"); on our development server then this runs with no problems, so it seems that it does not like using DefualtCredentials, either that or mine and my collegue's AD credentials are not sufficient, so back to the original question how do we grant full access to our logons.
Have you tried adding the accounts you want in the Report Manager and setting the role assignment there?
you are asking for advice on two very different issues and i have some idea for the second one only.
you are not describing the layout of the servers involved so i make the assumption that you are on a client machine accessing a webservice that is a bridge to reach a SSRS instance; webservice and SSRS are not on the same machine.
if this is the case then check if you are running into the double hop issue.
How do I get other info from the user like location, birthday, or gender? I'm using this code as a guide for the project that I'm doing. http://windowsphoneaalto.org/2012/01/facebook-get-information-about-the-user/
I was able to get the user's id and name but I can't get the other information. I tried getting the user's location by adding, string location = result["location"].ToString();
I ended up getting a null value and a keynotfoundexception. This is the piece of code that I'm having issues with.
void _fbClient_GetCompleted(object sender, FacebookApiEventArgs e)
{
//Turn the data into Dictionary.
//If you want to see what the Facebook is returning you can check it
//with this tool provided by Facebook
//http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me
var result = (IDictionary<string, object>)e.GetResultData();
//Get the ID value
string id = result["id"].ToString();
//Get the name value
string name = result["name"].ToString();
//Currently the thread running this code
//is not the UI thread and only UI thread can update
//UI. So we are calling the UI thread here.
_page.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => {
MessageBox.Show(name + " (" + id + ")");
});
As far as i remember you'll need to add that to the facebook apps extended permission and then ask the user to give you the rights to share those details.
Look more for extended permission on facebook will solve your problem
I have a windows service which polls for a specific folder for creation of new files. This works fine when the folder is in one of the local drives such as C: or D:
The service fails to find a folder on a mapped drive.
Here is the code which does the checking for folder exist before polling:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity userIdentity =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal principal =
new System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(userIdentity);
MappedDriveResolver mdr = new MappedDriveResolver();
if (mdr.isNetworkDrive(folderPath))
{
LoggingAppWrapper.LogDeveloperMessage(folderPath + " is on a Mapped drive", 1, TraceEventType.Information, string.Empty);
}
MappedDriveResolver is a class that I found hereHow do I determine a mapped drive's actual path?
The code in that link works fine from a simple console application, but fails when it is part of windows service.
Any suggestions as to what has to be done for the code to work for a windows service?
Regards.
I would recommend you configure your service to use UNC paths for folders not on the server running the service.
Mapped drives are a usability feature for users and as such they are specific to that users profile/environment. Meaning, when you login you may have a drive X: that is mapped to \\server1\share1 but when I login my drive X: could be mapped to \\server2\share2 instead. The actual mapping process is either saved as part of your profile with the "Reconnect at logon" or is handled by a logon script.
You need to check what account the service is running under and make sure that mapped drive exists for that user environment (This might help How to map a network drive to be used by a service).
Edit:
The reason your console application works and the service doesn't is because of the differences between the environment they are running in.
To illustrate this, take this console application, compile it and then run it as a Schedule Task. Set the "path" variable to be a mapped drive that your user can access.
static void Main(string[] args) {
MappedDriveResolver mdr = new MappedDriveResolver();
string logfile;
string path = #"I:\";
string[] files;
// Write out "log" file to where this is running from
logfile = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
logfile = Path.Combine(logfile, "log.txt");
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(logfile, true)) {
try {
sw.WriteLine("Checking path " + path);
if (mdr.isNetworkDrive(path)) {
sw.WriteLine("Network Drive: Yes");
} else {
sw.WriteLine("Network Drive: No");
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
sw.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
try {
sw.WriteLine("Resolve path " + path);
string newpath = mdr.ResolveToUNC(path);
sw.WriteLine("Resolved path " + newpath);
} catch (Exception ex) {
sw.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
try {
sw.WriteLine("Get file list from " + path);
files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
if (files == null || files.Length == 0) {
sw.WriteLine("No files found");
} else {
sw.WriteLine(string.Format("Found {0} files.", files.Length));
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
sw.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
}
}
Note: This is with the Windows 7 Task Scheduler
Test 1: Just run the app by double-clicking on it.
Result: Success
Test 2: Configure scheduled task to run as your user account with "Run only when user is logged on"
Result: Success
Test 3: Configure scheduled task to run as your user account with "Run whether user is logged on or not"
Result: Exceptions
Test 4: Configure schedule task to run as "Local Service" account.
Result: Exceptions
Test 1 & 2 work because they are using the currently logged in user environment including the mapped drives that are part of it.
Test 3 & 4 fail because they have their own user environment created for them, which does not have any mapped drives configured. It escapes me at the moment what the differences there are, but an "interactive" and "non-interactive" environment are different in some significant ways.
Is it possible to read the sharing permissions assigned to a shared folder? I'm able to read in the local security settings programmaticaly (the ones found under Right Click > Properties > Security) no problem. But, I'm wondering how I can read the permissions under Right Click > Sharing and Security... > Permissions
Here is an image of the Permissions I want to read:
Is this possible? I'm running an XP Pro machine if it helps.
Edit:
As per my answer I was able to iterate through all the shares, and get the access you (ie the person running the program) has on that share, but have not found a way to read the permissions others have on that share. This was done using Win32_Share class, however it does not have an option for getting the share permissions of other users. If anyone has any helpful hints that would be a huge help.
I was able to get this working by expanding on the approach taken by Petey B. Also, be sure that the process that runs this code impersonates a privileged user on the server.
using System;
using System.Management;
...
private static void ShareSecurity(string ServerName)
{
ConnectionOptions myConnectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions();
myConnectionOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
myConnectionOptions.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Packet;
ManagementScope myManagementScope =
new ManagementScope(#"\\" + ServerName + #"\root\cimv2", myConnectionOptions);
myManagementScope.Connect();
if (!myManagementScope.IsConnected)
Console.WriteLine("could not connect");
else
{
ManagementObjectSearcher myObjectSearcher =
new ManagementObjectSearcher(myManagementScope.Path.ToString(), "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting");
foreach(ManagementObject share in myObjectSearcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine(share["Name"] as string);
InvokeMethodOptions options = new InvokeMethodOptions();
ManagementBaseObject outParamsMthd = share.InvokeMethod("GetSecurityDescriptor", null, options);
ManagementBaseObject descriptor = outParamsMthd["Descriptor"] as ManagementBaseObject;
ManagementBaseObject[] dacl = descriptor["DACL"] as ManagementBaseObject[];
foreach (ManagementBaseObject ace in dacl)
{
try
{
ManagementBaseObject trustee = ace["Trustee"] as ManagementBaseObject;
Console.WriteLine(
trustee["Domain"] as string + #"\" + trustee["Name"] as string + ": " +
ace["AccessMask"] as string + " " + ace["AceType"] as string
);
}
catch (Exception error)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: "+ error.ToString());
}
}
}
}
}
I know you can with Windows Home Server:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb425864.aspx
You can do this in MMC and most of that is available through code, so it should be possible. If you can't find it there then you should check out Windows API calls. I've seen it done in C++, so it should also be possible in C#. Sorry, I don't have any sample code or other links to provide for those. I'll see if I can dig some up though.
I also just saw this on SO:
how to create shared folder in C# with read only access?
Another good link:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowssdk/thread/de213b61-dc7e-4f33-acdb-893aa96837fa
The best I could come up with is iterating through all the shares on a machine and reading the permissions you have on the share.
ManagementClass manClass = new ManagementClass(#"\\" +computerName +#"\root\cimv2:Win32_Share"); //get shares
//run through all the shares
foreach (ManagementObject objShare in manClass.GetInstances())
{
//ignore system shares
if (!objShare.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString().Contains('$'))
{
//print out the share name and location
textBox2.Text += String.Format("Share Name: {0} Share Location: {1}", objShare.Properties["Name"].Value, objShare.Properties["Path"].Value) + "\n";
Int32 permissions = 0;
try
{
//get the access values you have
ManagementBaseObject result = objShare.InvokeMethod("GetAccessMask", null, null);
//value meanings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390438(v=vs.85).aspx
permissions = Convert.ToInt32(result.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value);
}
catch (ManagementException me)
{
permissions = -1; //no permissions are set on the share
}
textBox2.Text += "You have permissions: " + permissions + "\n\n";
}
}
If anyone could figure out how to get the permissions others have on the share that would be amazing.
We use ADP for employee information. I had to create a small app that called some web services that ADP has to pull employee information. The app is fairly procedural..not really object orientated in a sense. Basically I go through some web services to pull general information, work information, employee status, etc.
I have most of this data writing out to a text file as a log so I can ensure that everything is working correctly. Finally got it all done, and it works perfect on my local machine. Thought I'd just copy the entire structure onto a server and use windows scheduler to schedule the exe to run nightly (once a day). When it tries to run the app it looks like it is dying when it calls the first web service. The task scheduler log says:
""ADP.job" (ADP.exe)
Started 2/11/2010 2:14:34 PM
"ADP.job" (ADP.exe)
Finished 2/11/2010 2:14:38 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (e0434f4d)."
So I checked the event viewer and it says this:
EventType clr20r3, P1 adp.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 4b745bb9, P4 adp, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 4b745bb9, P7 289, P8 2d, P9 system.io.filenotfoundexception, P10 NIL.

I put in some console.writelines to see where it is failing...
Here is a simple example of main:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
OpenTextFile();
Console.WriteLine("About to process employee work information...");
tw.WriteLine("About to process employee work information...");
//work info service
EmpWorkInfo();
}
And inside of opentextfile:
public static void OpenTextFile()
{
//used to log data
String sLogName;
Console.WriteLine("Inside of opentextfile");
if (Directory.Exists(logPath))
{
//directory exists
}
else
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(logPath);
}
Console.WriteLine("Inside of opentextfile2");
sLogName = "log_" + DateTime.Today.ToString("MM_dd_yyyy") + ".txt";
tw = new StreamWriter(logPath + sLogName);
}
I see all the console.writelines on the server but as soon as it hits this line from main:
EmpWorkInfo();
Thats when all hell breaks lose (basically it doesn't work). The EmpWorkInfo() is simply a function to get work related information from a web service (as I said this works locally).
static void EmpWorkInfo()
{
Console.Writeline("THIS NEVER PRINTS!!!");
SQLClass s=null;
// Create the web service proxy client.
GetEmployeeWorkInfoService oService = new GetEmployeeWorkInfoService();
oService.Timeout = Int32.MaxValue;

// Create the UsernameToken as defined in the WS-I secure profile.
UsernameToken oUsernameToken = new UsernameToken(USERNAME, SECRET);

oUsernameToken.GetXml(new System.Xml.XmlDocument());
ADP.GetEmployeeWorkInfoWebService.SecurityHeaderType oSecurityHeader = new ADP.GetEmployeeWorkInfoWebService.SecurityHeaderType();
oSecurityHeader.Any = new System.Xml.XmlElement[] { oSecurityHeaderXml };
oService.Security = oSecurityHeader;
GetEmployeeWorkInfoRequestFilter oFilter = new GetEmployeeWorkInfoRequestFilter();
//filter by thyssenkrupp company
oFilter.Companies = new String[] { COMPANY_IDENTIFIER };
GetEmployeeWorkInfoRequest oRequest = new GetEmployeeWorkInfoRequest();
oRequest.Filter = oFilter;
try
{
EmployeeWorkInfoType[] arPersonalInfo = oService.GetEmployeeWorkInfo(oRequest);
try
{
s = new SQLClass();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new System.Exception(e.Message.ToString());
}
for (int i = 0; i < arPersonalInfo.Length; i++)
{
String stID = arPersonalInfo[i].EmployeeKey.Identifier.EmployeeId; //employee number
String stEmailAddress = arPersonalInfo[i].WorkInfo.EmailAddress; //employee email address (work)

tw.WriteLine("Processing ID:" + stID + " Email Work: " + stEmailAddress + " Fax Work: " + stFax + " Hire Date: " + dtHireDate + " Phone Work: " + stPhone + " Wireless Work: " + stWireless + ".");
Console.WriteLine("Processing ID:" + stID + " Email Work: " + stEmailAddress + " Fax Work: " + stFax + " Hire Date: " + dtHireDate + " Phone Work: " + stPhone + " Wireless Work: " + stWireless + ".");
s.SetSQLCommand("dbo.ADP_uiEmployeeWorkInfo");

Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine);

s.CloseSQLDB();
s.Dispose();
}
//catch any exception from adp side.
catch (Exception e)

This functions code is irrelevant (its ugly but do not let that bother you, the code works...). My issue is I cannot even get to the first console.writeline of that function. Is there anything special I need to do when it comes to working with webservices?
Edit
Logpath is defined as simply a static string outside of main:
private static string logPath = Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\log\\";
I suspect that your application is not able to load the types referenced in that function - EmpWorkInfo.
1) Can you run this application on the target server in a commannd window (cmd.exe) ?
2) Are you using any assemblies from ADP that are installed in the global assembly cache (GAC)? Run "gacutil -l" on your localmachine to see if you are using any assemblies from ADP that are installed in thr gac. If they are, you will need to install these into the machine on which you are running the app.
Does logPath have a trailing backslash? Either way, you ought to use Path.Combine, rather than the string catenation operator (+).
What happens if you comment out all the code in EmpWorkInfo() apart from the first Console.Writeline? Does it still not get written out?
Found out I need the Microsoft.Web.Services3 dll installed on the server.
Continuation on "feroze" answer;
If you want to figure out if the 'loading of dependencies' is causing you grief here, i suggest using the "FUSLOGVW.EXE" tool *(part of .Net). When you run this it will give you a little dialog window with a few options. Create a directory somewhere (like "c:\temp\fusion_logs"), set the mode of FUSLOGVW to "log bind failures only", "custom location->c:\temp\fusion_logs".
Now restart your application and check that it failed. Now look into your fusion_logs directory. This should give you sub directories with different (maybe only 1 for now) application names. Inside each directory you will find the log files. These log files contain the "failed assembly loads" and who (which calling assembly) caused them.
They might help your hunt for a working application,
Hope this helps,
Edit: Posted this after you found the cause. The fuslogvw.exe would have shown you the missing assembly.
