XNET.exe without adminrights
|
Hi
Is it possible to run XNET.exe without admin privileges ?
My script works fine but not without rights !!!
Maybe there are other ways to realise it ?
Bye

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

cant a normal user do just a "net start" to show a list of the running services?

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

Something like this:
Code:
Shell '%comspec% /c net start | find /i "Service name goes here"'
And check @error after the above. @error will be 0 if service is found.
Ussed it to find a custom installed services and shut it down if found.
Works perfect.
Never ussed xnet so don't know about that.

There'd be no sense in it if used locally

WMIQUERY() should also address this need.

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

The original poster is talking about remote access, thus, by default, admin privileges would be needed, unless remote access security is lowered to allow non-admin accounts to perform such tasks.

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

I check with the loginscript if the service run or not, If not i will send a message and start it. The problem for me was, that the users didn't have admin rights and so the xnet.exe can't query the service database.
Now I will try it with the net start methode.
Thanks

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

Yep
Works really fine, but if I have services they have similar names
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Windows Management Instrumentation
there I have the next problem, if I would only check the Windows Management Instrumentation service.
Do you have an idea, how tho check that ?

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

you will have to look into using WSHpipe() then.
Code:
$service = "Windows Management Instrumentation"
$netstart = Split(Join(Split(Join(wshpipe("net start",1),"")," "),""),CHR(13))
If AScan($netstart,$service)+1
? "The service " + $service + " is running"
Else
? "The service " + $service + " is NOT running"
EndIf

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

Allright Samuel,
show us the line with which you check services with net start.
If you say it works ok for your users but not with quoted Service names then you simply have a syntax error somewhere in there (NO need to use wshpipe shtuff)

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

the problem is this
Quote:
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Windows Management Instrumentation
he wants to check for the service "Windows Management Instrumentation" to see if it is running.
if you run this.
shell '%comspec% /c net start | find /i "Windows Management Instrumentation" > nul'
and are depending on FIND's setting of the @error to determin if "Windows Management Instrumentation" is running or not. you will get a false positive if "Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions" is running and "Windows Management Instrumentation" is not running.
the FIND command will find both of these....
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Windows Management Instrumentation

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

It’s easy to test...
Put
Quote:
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Windows Management Instrumentation
Into a text file. And do this from a command prompt.
Type test.txt | find /i "Windows Management Instrumentation"
The find command finds both strings. Now remove "Windows Management Instrumentation" from the test file.... and the find command will find "Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions" even if you were searching for "Windows Management Instrumentation"

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

might be better using findstr or grep then with a regular expression

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

with that way one won't be doomed to rely on wsh which might be disbaled for security reasons in the enterprise environment.
Findtsr would be sufficient used with the /X switch, no? Plus it will be most probably available on any M$ OS ...

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

not sure of os coverage for findstr but it is on 2000 and XP.
you can use /x /e or a regular expression.

Well FIND has been around since MS-DOS 2.0 so I think it will be safe to use for you

Re: XNET.exe without adminrights

but find does not cut it in this situation as it will provide a false positive since it does not support regular expressions, the concept of an exact match, or any idea of beginning or end of line.
to be honest findstr may be available on a NT4 etc machine but I cant remember. I can only say for definite that findstr appears on xp and 2000.
And again grep is also an alternative that I would end up using as I am used to using it but findstr is just as suitable and may be available as part of the OS
