How to set the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege?

[allenf]

How do I set the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege so that I can execute ExitWindows on LabView 6.1 / Windows 2000?

KnowledgeBase document 2CTJ76G4 says that "a CIN is used to set the necessary privilege": what function / DLL?

(The attachment to KB #2CTJ76G4 is for LV 7.0; I am running 6.1.)

Hi,

You don't need a CIN, just the right calls to advapi32.dll and kernel32.dll:

LookupPrivilegeValueA
GetCurrentProcess
OpenProcessToken
AdjustTokenPrivileges
ExitWindowsEx

But it's easier to use the attached vi... Be carefull. Windows will shut
down (save first)!

Regards,

Wiebe.

Thanks! That looks like it will do the trick!
