New Post: Error: "Access is denied HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)" when connecting to remote server from IIS 7.

Hi

I am trying to retrieve scheduled tasks from our remote server, but i'm getting an "Access is denied" exception.
I am trying to access the tasks from a website on IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008.

I have tried the following:
1) Plain

var ts = new TaskService("RemoteServerName");

2) Use impersonation

var identity = HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity;
WindowsImpersonationContext impersonation = identity.Impersonate();

var ts = new TaskService("RemoteServerName");

impersonation.Undo();

• The exception occurs when trying to initialize a new TaskService.
  
• When trying to access the scheduled tasks on the local server (the server where the website is hosted) I get no errors, but can only retrieve all tasks if I use impersonation.
  
• If I test the same code in the Visual Studio (and IIS Express), it works fine (even without impersonation).
  

I tried to monitor the Event viewer -> Windows Logs -> Security on the RemoteServer when executing the code. I noticed that the accountname is "ANONYMOUS LOGON" when executing from IIS7 (even when using impersonation).

Why is impersonation ignored?
