Why am I logged in as a different user using NTLM? - iis-6

This question is related to: Windows authentication does not work
I am developing a .NET 4.0 MVC3 application that has Integrated Windows Authentication turned on. If I open my application from my development machine (I am logged in as DOMAIN\USER) I am logged in automatically as DOMAIN\SERVERADMINACCOUNT. From any other machine on the network everything works as expected (current user is logged in automatically using NTLM).
Does anyone have an idea what's happening? The server is Windows 2003 with IIS6. All clients machines are Windows XP with SP3 or Windows 7 (mine is XP).

I found the answer!
In Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Advanced tab I clicked Manage passwords button and removed the configuration for the domain I used. Now I am logged in to my web application as a currently logged in Windows user.

Lightswitch Deployment (Visual Studio 2013) Tier-3 with No Authentication

I am attempting to deploy a simple lightswitch application (HTML not Windows app) in VS 2013. I have selected to not have authentication to make the testing easier.
The IIS server and the database server are on different machines. I have followed the steps here for server setup.
However, when I go to the website after publishing, I get this error:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page.
I went to the IIS server and made sure that only Windows authentication was enabled on the application that was sent over. After reading another MS article on the 401 error, they recommended unchecking the Kernel Mode Authentication. That only prompted a username/password request, which did not work.
What am I doing wrong here? I assumed having no authentication setup in the deployment would make the website open to anyone on our network. Not the case?
Found the problem(s) with this one.
Problem #1
When I downloaded / installed Microsoft's Web Platform Installer on my IIS server, the LightSwitch application I was working on and several other seemingly random websites/apps in the IIS all had the Authentication settings disabled for every authentication type (Anon, Basic, Windows, Forms, etc.). Had to go and Enable windows authenication on several websites. Did not expect that...
Problem #2
HTML Client folder was not loaded on the machine for some reason. Removed Lightswitch app from IIS and deleted the folder. Created a package for install in VS2013 and then copied the zip file over to the IIS server. Flawless install after that... One thing to watch for it to change the default setting in IIS from 'default.htm' to 'default.aspx'.

Not able to browse the central admin after installing sharepoint 2010 on windows 7

i sucussfully installed sharepoint 2010. configuration also went succesfully. after that when i open central administration it is giving 500 error like The website cannot display the page.
please anyone can help me in this
A couple of suggestions:
See if any relevant Windows services on your Windows 7 box have been disabled or not restarted properly.
The Central Admin site may be failing as SQL is not accessible.
Also verify the Central Admin site is ok in IIS Manager: check that the application pool or site itself has not stopped.
By default, some of the authentication providers may not be installed in Windows 7 machine (inside IIS). You can check the list of authentication providers by double click on the central administration site in IIS

How to single sign on for Linux RedHat server from windows desktop

We are hosting our portal pages on a linux box. I am supposed to implement a single sign on where the user logs into his/her windows xp desktop and that login is consumed by the portal and used to set the user role appropriately. I really would like some answers on how this can work best.
Environment:
Jboss 4.2.2GA
Jboss portal 2.6.5
Redhat Enterprise Linux 5
There is absolutely no way of doing this right.

Ways of Authentication against a Windows Server in C# for a Client Application

I have windows server 2003 machine as a part of our network. I have created an administrator user on it.
Now this server system has a shared folder.
I am writing a C# application which will copy some files a local system to that shared folder in the windows server 2003 machine.
I have coded the file transfer code, it works fine if I authenticate the client machines using windows explorer to copy file into the shared folder on the server.
However If I don't authenticate using windows explorer my code gives Access Denied Error.
I want C# cope piece which can authenticate my file transfer application without entering the creds on windows explorer each time. The windows server has normal windows authentication.
Please help!!
Edit-
The server does not have an AD, please note that Iam authenticating against an AD, I just want to create an Authenticated windows session to the machine.
You need to use impersonation.
The following KB article has some good information on using impersonation from .NET:

A quick Google search turns up the following example (based on the same idea):

Vista + VB.NET - Access is denied while trying to start/stop a Windows Service from within an application

I get the following error in Vista while trying to start/stop a Windows Service that I created.
Cannot open ServiceName service on computer '.'.
The same code works for XP. What should I do to solve this problem?
User Account Control (aka UAC). UAC means that the user is not running as an administrator. Your application needs to tell windows that it requires admin rights. I think this page explains it better than I can.
Just stumbled upon your question today, though you had asked it a while back :)
I was having a similar problem on Windows Vista while i was trying to start a .net based service that i had developed.
I opened the Properties dialog of the service and changed the Log On user to Local System (Previously i was trying to start the service using Network Service). On restarting the service i didn't get any error.
In case you are still wondering about the answer, this has worked for me. I hope it will work for you too.
Cheers!
