#2656 - 2000-04-26 03:40 PM Using Kix during logon to install applications that requires admin rights.

I was told that kixtart 95 login script can setup a sudo user on login to run an application. In other words. If a user logs in when no admin rights. I can still setup a application to run under an admin account by using the /user /password syntax. Is that correct? I tried using :
"\\DC01\Gensler\installs\Admin\Diskeeper 5.0\setup.exe" /user:testing /password:tpassword

(Where testing is a user with admin rights and tpassword is their password)

But the script does not run. It states that the script can not be found error:

Script error : failed to find/open script !.

I would be grateful for any help.

That user password bit only works for the USE command. It allows people who do not have rights to a particular share to access it anyway.

You can't subvert security measures when installing software though, sorry.

sounds like you are dealing with two issues

1. You need to get your script to run
;**Batch File**
;%0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\testkix.kix

2. You can deal with the security issue by using the SU Service (Switch User). The service needs to reside on each machine you will be performing "admin" functions on.

Kix32 has a supplement utility "Xnet.exe" that can remotely install and start an NT service. I started a couple of threads (thanks for all the answers everybody!) about this whole process recently so take a look and see if any of it helps. It has worked great for me so far!!
