StartInteractiveClientProcess and CreateProcessWithLogonW

[None]

What's the difference between StartInteractiveClientProcess in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379608(VS.85).aspx, and
CreateProcessWithLogonW?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682431(VS.85).aspx

They look different, e.g. it seems that CreateProcessWithLogonW requires
that the user account must be allowed to log on interactively.

Hello,

The difference is that we cannot call CreateProcessWithLogonW from a
process that is running under the LocalSystem account, because the function
uses the logon SID in the caller token, and the token for the LocalSystem
account does not contain this SID. As an alternative, use the
CreateProcessAsUser and LogonUser functions, which is what
StartInteractiveClientProcess does for us.
