I want the ability to impersonate any possible application pool identity from an installer. I can do it for NetworkService and LocalService but I can't do it for applicationpoolIdentity "IIS APPPOOL\<apppool name>". I get LogonUser failed with
error code : 1311. Exception occurred. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
I am using code ripped from the WindowsIdentity docs run as an Nunit test called from psexec -s to execute as SYSTEM.
