Thanks

I ran into the same problem myself, and have yet to figure out a way around it. I am looking for a way to run a program AS a different user (eg. administrator) but I've found nothing useful yet.

Perhaps the next version of Kix will have a provision for it...

Use @ipaddress to get the ip address of the local workstation. You will then need to use a script to condense this ip address to a usable format (ie from 222. 2. 2. 2, to 222.2.2.2). Someone else will have to help with how to do that.

Let us call the usable ip address $ip.

shell '%comspec% /c "net use \\$ip\ipc$ /u:administrator password"'

shell '%comspec% "REG ADD RegistryPath=Value [DataType] \\$ip"'

Ass I said, I haven't tested this, so what I've just said may be a load of crap. However, the same idea does work when changing permissions on files even though users don't have access to those file.

BIG PROBLEM though. Huge security issue. If users know about the file they can see what the admin password is. Your call!!

The tool su (Resource kit)should solve your problem, but the handicap is, that before you can use it , you must first install the service on all machines with administrative rights. If this is done su can do all the work for you.
The way I have tested it was the following:

- Install the SU Service on the worktations
- Then via a login script the su command can run with the domainadminaccount and execute your commands. Type the commands into a batch file
- To ensure that the user can not read the password which is needed for the su command in the batch convert the batch to a .com file using bat2exec.

Now you can run jobs with administrative rights on workstations without the need, that the users have administrative privileges.

the script that you want is su_install.kix.

where can i find the bat2exe command?

Thanks

Just copy xnet.exe in to your %systemroot%\system32 directory.

WHERE TO GET A BAT2EXE PROGRAM
If you're looking for a BAT2EXE program, Robert Butler suggests a couple of places to start looking. Read the post in our KiXtart board ... http://www.extracheez.com/Boards/message.asp?msg=16090

Test & Integration

code:

---

$t=""
while $i<15
	if substr(@ipaddress0,$i+1,1)<>" "
		$t=$t+substr(@ipaddress0,$i+1,1)
	endif
	$i=$i+1
loop

---

This will give you $t, the IPADDRESS0 without the spaces.
