VBScript Seems to Require Admin Rights to Work

[CCHall]

This script works perfectly if an admin user is logged in, but with a standard user, rather than opening multiple URLs in separate tabs in IE like it's supposed to, it opens the first (main) URL multiple times, and ignores the other URLs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!


main = "

http://200.10.60.42/hcoremain.aspx"

wwatty = "

http://200.10.60.142/wwpoexp_atty.aspx"

wwcourse = "

http://200.10.60.142/wwclecrs.aspx"

wwattd = "

http://200.10.60.142/wwcleattd.aspx"

inscse = "

http://200.10.60.142/cleattd_insforcourse.aspx"

Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.Visible = True
'open a new window
'open IE maximized
oIE.Left = 0
oIE.Top = 0
oIE.TheaterMode = True
iHeight = oIE.Height
iWidth = oIE.Width
oIE.TheaterMode = False
oIE.Height = iHeight
oIE.Width = iWidth
oIE.Navigate2 main
'open url In new tab
oIE.Navigate2 wwatty, 2048
oIE.Navigate2 wwcourse, 2048
oIE.Navigate2 wwattd, 2048
oIE.Navigate2 inscse, 2048
oIE.Visible = True
Set oIE = Nothing

I use the format:

oIE.Navigate2 "

Thanks for the reply. I've tried it this way as well and have the same problem - it works fine for admin users but for non-admin users, brings up the first tab multiple times rather than the referenced sites in their own tabs.

Are you running the script as a login script via a GPO?

No, just running the script straight from Windows, the old fashioned way, by double clicking the VBS file.

Thanks!

Use this wrapper code to have your script run elevated.

[green]
'This code looks for an argument (can be bogus).  
'If no argument then the script is automatically relaunched elevated as admin.[/green]

If WScript.Arguments.length = 0 Then
  Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
  objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & _
  WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " uac", "", "runas", 1
Else
  [green]'Add your code here[/green]
End If
