Question : Creating logon script to run under administrator privlidges

Hi,

I would like to create a logon script to copy certain files from a network share (eg. \\server1\netlogon\) to a user's computer (WinXP OS). Some files will need to to be copied to the Default User's Startup folder so I will need to run the script under an administrator user account. What would be the best (or easiest!) way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Tim

Answer : Creating logon script to run under administrator privlidges

"Properly secured machine (bios password, locked physically from opening and limited to booting from hard- drive only) would not be prone to those tools"

Completely agree, only know a couple of companies that do, but I do believe in the concept.  Even one better give everyone Winterms :-)

"Unchecking decompilation just means that autoIT adds a flag to the file to prevent its decompiler from running. Using debugger and hex editor, I can circumvent it in 2 minutes. It would be yet another "security through obscurity" (as long as someone would have some time, he would be able to decode the password), while storing password on server and only asking the server to use it is real security - someone would need to hack into the server to get the password, and if (s)he hacks there, (s)he would not need the admin password anymore."

Again completely agree, which is why I use a Local Account rather than a Domain Account, all my compiled EXE are run from SMS, if the user knows where to look they'd probably find the path.  Also because the scripts are completely silent, they aren't aware the program has run or is running unless they have Taskbar open at that specific time.

Anyhow back to the problem at hand, another hand that slipped my mind was the use of Group Policy Computer Configuration Startup Scripts basically you can create a batch file to copy the Machine based settings "Default User... or Windows" to the machine during the Computer Startup, the script will run as System so rights are required to be given to the scripts.
