Search the board for RenameAdmin, a tool developed by a fellow KiXer (Howard Bullock). Then you could use this to change the admin account and the password... Let us know what you found. _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

This is the command from the command prompt or in a batch file. Can easily be translates to Kix. code: net user administrator newpassword _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	R2, problem is that users aren't local admins so my guess is you're solution will not work...

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Didn’t' know about the user not being local admin Could use something like the Taskscheduler UDF or su combined with kixcrypt. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Su and KiXCrypt will do the trick (am using it...). TaskScheduler could do it, but cannot through logonscript. didn't know the local admin either. Was assuming it... Who wants to make normal users local admin... _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Doing it at logon would be easiest with su or some thing like it indeed

Posted this.....

code:

Select
	Case $user = admin
		$network = "Totally screwed up"
		$sysadmin = "Flooded with work"
		$sysadminmood = "Also totally screwed up"
	Case $user = localadmin
		$workstation = "Totally screwed up"
		$firewall = "Getting bombarded with kazaa requests and stuff"
		$sysadmin = "Flooded with firewall warnings"
		$sysadminmood = "Also totally screwed up"
	Case $user = "User" AND $user = "Unable to do stuff he likes without admins knowing"
		$network = "Up and running"
		$sysadmin = "Happy, legs up on desk saying he's real bussy"
		$sysadminmood = "Might think twice about kicking a user"
EndSelect

... here a few days ago just for fun [Big Grin]

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Sgt, Why would you want to do this in a logon script. It is easy enough to do in an admin script with Howard's RenameAdmin.exe utility. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
