Don’t have the rights to change the registry using a script

[Saavyd]

I am trying to chage some registry setting in windows xp but our users do not have admin rights on the box. I am trying to create a run as script that will allow the script to run under the admin account. but my scripting skills are not very good. I would appreciate some help.

Here is the code thus far.


Option explicit

dim oShell

Dim WshShell

set oShell= Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "runas /user:administrator "
WScript.Sleep 100
'Replace the string yourpassword~ below with
'the password used on your system. Include tilde
oShell.Sendkeys "y0m0mm@"


Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


WshShell. RegWrite"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\ExclusionErrorSuppressionList\*.dbf", 0, "REG_DWORD"

wshShell. RegWrite"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\ExclusionErrorSuppressionList\*.pst", 0, "REG_DWORD"

wshShell. RegWrite"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\ExclusionErrorSuppressionList\*.pst", 0, "REG_DWORD"

wshShell. RegWrite"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\ExclusionErrorSuppressionList\*.dbf", 0, "REG_DWORD"

Wscript.Quit

Are you an administrator of the machines? If so, why not run the script remotely for the "HKEY_Local_Machine" settings? As far as the HKEY_Current_User portion, I believe they will have the rights to do that, as it is dealing with their session, and/or current settings (multiple ways of setting this up, to include domain group policy, local group policy, user activated, task schedule activated). You'll only need to do it once for each.
