We randomly get an error "System.ArgumentException: Invalid token for
impersonation - it cannot be duplicated" when executing

IntPtr logonToken= WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token;

WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = new WindowsIdentity(logonToken);

Hello, Chavdar!

Do you get this for different users? What is there in the Security Audit
event log?

Hi,

We get this for some users and not others. We tracked it down to the
following:

Our programs are .NET 2.0. The computers exibiting the issue had .NET 2.0
AND .NET 3.0 installed. After we uninstalled .NET 3.0 the problem went away.

This to be is a bug somewhere in the framework - not sure where....2.0 or 3.0.

Please help.

Thanks

Hello, Chavdar!

When creating WindowsIdentity object token passed to the constructor is
duplicated.
However, to do this as far as I remember special privileges are needed.

Hi Vadym,

1. Who/what duplicates the token?
2. Why does this work under .NET 2.0 and blows up sporadically under .NET 3.0?

Thanks in advance.
