Re: How to launch a user-mode COM server from Kernel mode driver

NTDEV

Wouldn’t it be easier to write a very simple service application that opens
the driver and sends an IOCTL to it that completes when the driver would
like the com server to start. The service would then start the com server.
Better yet, why not have the com server start automatically via the usual
mechanisms, and have it load and start the driver if it is not already
started?

There is a call ZwOpenProcess() documented in Gary Nebett book.
There are some
examples that I believe can be adapted to kernel mode. Once started the
process itself
can initialize the COM environment.
