LogonUser, LogonUserEx and LogonUserExExW will allow a user to log in
to the local PC, but not to a remote PC. Can someone tell me how I
would log in to a remote PC?

As a Windows network administrator I need to log in as myself 'in the
background' to install software and the like. (Obviously I'm aware of
the possibilities offered by group policy, RDP etc etc - but I want to
do this for myself).

A sequence of general steps involved would be great, code snippets
would be even better. Useful web links would also be appreciated (but
please - something more specific than 'look on MSDN'!!)

Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help.
