BrianTX:

Not at all, dude. The task scheduler is quite a nice solution because the box/user is logged in and can run at an appropriate time.

I can't run or call SU from a UNC path or mapped drive so the way to do it seems like copy to pc, run from pc and get rid of those specific files.

But, as I've said...getting it to *work* manually before I automate it, and before I kixcrypt it would be the prudent thing to do.

So, manual -> batch -> kix script -> kix crypt'ed script.

Like the saying goes: "Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me and I might remember. Involve me and I'll never forget."

And to LLigetfa:

You are correct that the prudent thing to do is do the write to the registyr via kix, however it is under the same restrictions that regedit is.
But, once again the issue is running it locally, vs running from a mapped drive or UNC path.

There is not urgency in what I'm doing, just curiosity and a desire to learn and make things easier in the process/future.

So, no big deal that I am still at step 2 and a half even after playing for less than a week's time.

(and stupidly enuf, I wonder if mapping L: to netlogon and doing a 'subst (drive letter) l:\scripts' will be a good enuf cheat to run the su command?
Hummmm.

Thanks,
