  [in] ULONG TargetLogonId,
  [in] PSTR  pPassword,
  [in] BOOL  bWait
);

Parameters

[in] LogonId

The logon ID of the session to connect to. The user of that session must have permissions to connect to an existing session. The output of this session will be routed to the session identified by the TargetLogonId parameter.

This can be LOGONID_CURRENT to use the current session.

[in] TargetLogonId

The logon ID of the session to receive the output of the session represented by the LogonId parameter. The output of the session identified by the LogonId parameter will be routed to this session.

This can be LOGONID_CURRENT to use the current session.

[in] pPassword

A pointer to the password for the user account that is specified in the LogonId parameter. The value of pPassword can be an empty string if the caller is logged on using the same domain name and user name as the logon ID. The value of pPassword cannot be NULL.

[in] bWait

Indicates whether the operation is synchronous. Specify TRUE to wait for the operation to complete, or FALSE to return immediately.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Either the LogonId or TargetLogonId parameter can be LOGONID_CURRENT, but not both.
