#125140 - 2004-08-17 11:33 AM need admin access - no su service
jechilt jechilt Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2000-12-01 Posts: 102 Loc: Denver Colorado	Greetings, I need to create a script that will run with administrator permissions to make local system changes at logon. However, the workstation does not have su services running and we won't run a script with passwords in the clear. I am thinking of making a kix script and then adding it to smsInstaller to compile the script which we can embed the local admin password. Only problem is how to get it to run without su services??? any suggestions? _________________________ John LM Contractor One of the 2 dads

jechilt jechilt Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2000-12-01 Posts: 102 Loc: Denver Colorado	i will look into this... we could push the initial scripts to the workstations with SMS and use kix to execute them. only thing is this will happen at logon time. our small project is to check the username at logon with an online database. This database will dictate what devices (cd-rom, floppy, etc) the user has access to. The logon script would then make the adjustments to the workstation by opening the respective devices for that user. (yes, this could be done in a win2k centric world, but we are stuck with NT PDC/BDC at the moment). _________________________ John LM Contractor One of the 2 dads

You could however get the info during logon proces, dump in c:\swap\temp in a .txt and let a SWAP script read the .txt to see if floppy etc. should be disabled. Why not use system policies to deny access to A: etc. depending on group membership???

jechilt jechilt Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2000-12-01 Posts: 102 Loc: Denver Colorado	we are limited on group memberships allowed to be created on the local workstation...though this is something to consider. This would cause the logon script to double check the user at each logon. If they are approved a device and later the device is revoked, the logon script will have to remove the user from the group. _________________________ John LM Contractor One of the 2 dads

That's what SMS is for. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

jechilt jechilt Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2000-12-01 Posts: 102 Loc: Denver Colorado	yes....you are correct to a certain extent. SMS is good for running things from a push, but i have yet to figure out how to get SMS to interact with the logon process (and use kix since it is easier than vb) _________________________ John LM Contractor One of the 2 dads

The SMS should have full admin rights to modify anything it wants to. Why does it need to be interactive? With more specific details and what it is you're wanting to change we might be able to suggest an appropriate solution better.

However, you'd need to be more specific if you expect us to be more precise with answers. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
