ASP.Net permission problem on ProcessStartInfo?

[Andy Pickering]

Just to make sure that I wasn't doing something stupid I've tried getting
the current user name a couple of ways:

If I check System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name - I
get the correct impersonated user.
From the same page, if I call cmd /c whoami using a Process object, I get
'nt authority/network service'.

I finally found a solution to this by using the Kerr.Windows assembly from
