RunAS and Group Policy

[cm2k]

Hi,

I need to perform a RunAs for IE to elevate user permissions to allow them to run an Oracle application.

I can do this numerous ways and it works fine. However as you can imagine the users can now edit the settings in IE, I need to be able to stop this. Can I apply a GPO for the RunAs user account, or does anybody know of a way to launch IE without the toolbars, i'm open to ideas.

The closest I have come is with Joeware's CPAU, I got it to work perfectly the only catch is the RunAs user has to logon to each PC at the console, which on a network with 2000+ machines is not ideal!

Many Thanks,

Chris.

You can do this with two lines of vbscript code.

Set x = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")

x.navigate2 "about:blank" : x.toolbar = false : x.menubar = false : x.statusbar = false : x.visible = True

Change the about:blank to whatever URL you want to open. Copy the code to a text file and give it a VBS extension. Then set it as a login script to launch it.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your answer, this would be perfect however the application has two links that when clicked open in a new windows and unfortunately IE reverts back to a standard window for these I am going to see if I can edit the html app to stop this.

Thanks for your answer.
