Hello,

I have a LH based service that does this .

- starts up with LocalSystem.
- Launches a thread. This thread impersonates a local user
defined Administrator account.
- This thread launches another child process.This is via
CreateProcess( , DETACHED_PROCESS, ) with a NULL security
descriptor.
- Periodically, this thread will do OpenProcess on the child's
process pid .
- This OpenProcess(Process_query_Information,FALSE, pid) fails
with ACCESS_DENIED error.
- This service has a RequireAdministrator manifest file.

- This service may be restared while the child process was
active. However, it will still need the facility to check on the
child's status as above.

Let me know if there are LH specific workarounds or other issues
here.

Thanks
--Chinta
