The issue is that you should not have a file that contains commands that will run with elevated Privileges residing on the local box (imho)

i see what you mean but we run Defrag with admin rights cause you have to.
but when the job is done i make sure it deletes them. when the copy takes place from the server it copies setup.exe and cacls1.bat program to local pc and runs with admin rights at night time when all are gone.

i am aware of programs that can run on local machines and do things to Active Directory as well. i have seen them...but in this case i am still looking for a MSI package which would prefer and yes, the Self healing technology i like as well. i dont want to use zap files and publish them; it needs to be done at night so all is ready in the morning. so i am still looking for the gpo way. nice that big MS$$ didnt make and MSI installer to package stuff up and to allow addes switches. But i think even MCSEs have to sort of jerry rigs stuff; but since my files are delete when done off of each pc and the job will be disabled; i feel okay; but like i said i am looking for the gPO way cause it is slick and self healing is great.
this software package we have is cheesy! but my scripting works.
the only thing is the install via job schedular with admin rights while
all are gone home. and then deletes self. and disble job !
so doing my best; i have talked with cert mcse and they even say theyhave had to do stuff like that! but echo what i do try to get msi.
amem to that!

Merry christmas guys!
hey NTDOC next time before you slam me; be easy! big guy!
WIP means work in progress and get all the facts i have done my homework
and disable many things in bios and password out with our admin pass word
for our admins on each pc so i am working it!
