Pass through credentials

[Jerz]

'###########################
' Rename Computer
'###########################
rc = objWMIComputerSystem.Rename(strNewComputer, _
strDomainPasswd, _
strDomainUser)

I'm re-naming a machine, which works fine as above. Company Policy prohibits storing passwords & usernames in the script.

When I run the script as:
rc = objWMIComputerSystem.Rename(strNewComputer)
as a domain admin, I get error 5, access denied.

It does work if I code in some creds, but that isn't acceptable. How to use current windows users credentials in script?

I realize this doesnt answer you question directly but its a work around that i use frequently. Compile the script into an exe so its not readable and you can code credentials into the script. Its cheap and has worked great even with complicated vbs scripts or simple batch files. I understand its not bullet proof, but most users dont try to decompile exe files.
