Get sessions using cassia with username and password

Question

I have a remote machine and I want to get all logged in user details. I wrote the code using cassia as follwoign using this link

    ITerminalServicesManager manager = new TerminalServicesManager();
    using (ITerminalServer server = manager.GetRemoteServer("SERVERIPADDRESS"))
    {
        server.Open();
        foreach (ITerminalServicesSession session in server.GetSessions())
        {
            NTAccount account = session.UserAccount;
            string userName = session.UserName;

            if (account != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(account);
            }
        }
    }

Now I want to connect to this server using a particular UserId and Password. How can I do it? I am not getting any option for that.

What I tried is, I gave the server ip address and build the solution. Then I tried the exe file as a different user and giving credentials but failed to login.

Can anyone please help. I am ready and open to ditch Cassia, but want a working solution.

And please help me tagging this question, I cant get my mind around it.

As Dan Ports had mentioned, impersonation is definitely the way to go.

If, after using impersonation, you're still unable to connect, I found that non-server OSes (ex. Windows 7 or Windows 8.1) need a registry edit at the following location to make Cassia requests work:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer

At this location, change the value of AllowRemoteRPC to 1.

In order to make this a good answer you should complement it with the info in the link. Linked pages change or disappear over time. – ZygD Jun 17 '15 at 19:36

You'll need to use impersonation -- the underlying Remote Desktop Services API does not support passing in credentials as parameters. See Cassia issue 32 and the links in the comments there for more information on impersonation.
