I've been struggling to launch a process started under Local System Account (via remote deployment service) under another registered user account. I've followed these steps:

And it works on my local XP-machine. I.e. my process is started from the registered user account and executes everything in the right context. But one of the users (also on XP) has issues, getting error code 5 after CreateProcessAsUser. I cannot reproduce this and am trying to investigate why this is happening. Interestingly I even removed the permissions to Read/Execute for my registered admin on a specific folder I've got my exe in, but it still runs everything, so I'm not quite sure where to look to find the source of the problem. I would appreciate any advice in which direction to look in order to resolve this. Maybe you've had similar experience and managed to find a way how to resolve this?
Thanks!
PS I'm simulating local system admin via psexec /si cmd
