Hi,

I am trying to come up with something similar to Microsoft's Terminal
Services but am having unfortunately some starting difficulties. Mainly
I am looking into how to log on additional users into a full desktop
environment.

I have found such a kind of feature in the SU implementation "SUperior
SU" for Windows, where its FAQ -
http://www.stefan-kuhr.de/supsu/faq.php4#q:%%3C/b%%3E_what_is_the_d -
states there are several differences between its own implementation and
the Terminal Services/Fast User Switching.

Would anyone have a hint about the right APIs respectively could point
me into the right direction (I would assume LogonUser() and
CreateDesktop() might be two key functions).

Thanks very much.

Well, to be honest I am not having such a big experience with named
pipes so I would likely go with IP (whether UDP or TCP and if TCP
subsequently HTTP is yet to be decided), aside that I suppose it could
be problematic via Internet connections.

Sure, my initial concern was that the desktop/session isolation wouldnt
really be given by using the "regular" calls, which doesnt seem to be
the case with Terminal Services.

This appears of having been confirmed by several responses to the same
question in microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel.
