I need to install service packs on my client computers! Of course this would be easy if all of my users were admins but I'm not crazy .

I'm running a NT 4.0 DC and have 2K and 4.0 clients. I've messed around with logon scripts, but I haven't figured out how to install programs when a regular user logs on.

I tried those "auto kixstart script making programs" but I wan't to know how they do it. Am I missing a simple .exe file that allows me to specify the privledges a .exe starts with? I would use the "runas" command in Win2K but it doesn't allow you to specify a password in a script .

I know this is possible and would be greatfull if someone could just point me in the right direction.

By the way.....awsome board.

Search the boards for SU,

Read this...KiXtart&SU.rtf, other helpful SU related scripts can be found here http://kix.isorg.net/other_scripts/su

Another way would be to use the RCMD command from an admin computer to start a remote command (service pack) on the workstations in question.

Thanks for the help. After posting this I did a little reading on the boards and found the SU command mentioned many times.

I haven't used RCMD (come in the resource kit?) but I have used psexec and had little success with that. When using psexec I can see the process on the target computer but it goes no further. Anyways thanks.
