RE: Executing a program on a Windows 2003 server

No Win32 a.p.i.s I know of.  This is a .NET application that uses the

iSeries Access Data Provider, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Outlook
objects. 

What account is the rexec service running under? 

I once wrote a VB prog that atttempted to use the Client Access OLEDB
driver. It worked fine on my PC, and if I was logged onto the server as
anyone, but always failed when called via REXEC. Issue was that there
was no user/pass cached for the 'Server' account the REXEC service ran
under. So when it tried to run the program, the OLEDB driver would try
to prompt for user/pass, but since there was no console session, it'd
just silently fail.

What I did to resolve it was create a new user account, OLEDBUSER, then
log on to the server using that account, set up the connection in
ClientAccess, and ran the program. Sure enough, the first connection
attempt it prompted for user/pass, so I entered it, clicked the
'remember' (or whatever its called) box, then logged back on as Admin,
and changed the rexec service to run under the 'OLEDBUSER' account, and
restarted it. Worked fine then.

Of course I know zip about .NET or the iSeries Access Data Provider, so
this is probably just pointless rambling.
