Please go easy on me - I'm new at this and am trying to learn.

I have seen several examples on installing the suss service using xnet.exe and a list of computernames to push the service to. What I need to do is call a kixscript from the NT/2000 logon script that will install the suss service instead of pushing it out to a list of computers. The users currently have local admin rights so installing the service shouldn't be too hard (if I can figure out the script). Once the service is installed we will remove the users from the local admin group and use su.exe when we need to update. Any suggestions? Also, is xnet.exe necessary?

There may be a better way than this. If you have an example to push the installation, can't you just alter it a bit use '"\\" + @wksta' where you would normally place the target computer and call it from your logon script?

Caveat: I have never used Suss.exe so I may not know what I am talking about.

Jtel,

Another way to approach this is to use the SC.EXE and INSTSRV.EXE Utilities from the resource kit. That is you can install the services with INSTSRV and control (start) the service with SC..

HTH,

IF your users already have admin rights...a simple

shell '%compsec% /c suss -install > nul'
shell '%comspec% /c net start SU > nul'

should do the trick.

(please test this first, i was not able to)

How about this?

code:
Copy @LSERVER + "\netlogon\SUService\suss.exe" "@LANROOT"
Copy @LSERVER + "\netlogon\SUService\su.exe" "%windir%"
shell "%comspec% /c suss -install"
shell "%comspec% /c net start SU"

It IS necessary to have these files locally first, is it not?

Brian

yes these files must be local, or.... you can give the System account network access rights....

I would go with copy the files to the local HD
