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
Sam

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.

WMIQUERY() should also address this need.

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.

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
Sam

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 ?

Bye
Sam

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

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)

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
