Credentials scripting

[anth1977]

I'm trying to run an application both using login scripts, and it writes files to a directory that the user (who is a
local administrator) doesn't have permissions to write to.

Does anyone know how to script a way around this. RUNAS I looked into,
but that prompts the user for a password. I'm looking for a way to
script to say "run this app using these credentials."

You didnt specify the OS, but you may want to check out the SU utility in the Win2K resource kit.

Alternatively, you could create a VB component that wraps the WinAPI functionality you need, then use that component in your VBS.

In what context are you referring to the RUNAS you looked into? I'm familiar with it's use under Services and DCOM configurations, but both of those allow you to establish the password when you set the username. Jon Hawkins
