I'm trying to spawn a process as a different user (either by
CreateProcessWithLogonW() or CreateProcessWithTokenW()) and add the new
process to a Job object.
However, when I call AssigneProcessToJobObject(), it returns ACCESS_DENIED.

Investigating a little further, it looks like the newly created process (child
of svchost) is already part of another job object and thus it cannot be
reassigned to mine.

Does anybody have an idea how to do what I need?

Thanks,
Fabio

Hi,

If you use the CreateProcessAsUser function, you can specify the
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB bit in the creation flags.
that will cause the child process to not be made a job member.

I don't know why the CreateProcessWithTokenW and CreateProcessWithLogonW
documentation do not mention this flag.
either it is an oversight and the documentation is wrong, or those functions
do not support that flag.

In that case you could try using the function I mentioned. you could also
try asking in one of the platform sdk groups. maybe there someone will know
the rationale behind this behavior.
