Brobbl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hey there, first of all, I habe googled this problem but i didnt find a good solution to what i need to do... so please, hepl me :-) Problem: While setting up computers over pxe, I run a script that reads a XML-file and checks for given parameters like reg-keys, files, services, etc. and writes the results of all checks right back into the file. This script runs with system rights, which wont let me copy the file onto a network share... What I want: I need to copy a file to a network share, but the user running the script doesnt have the necessary rights to write into that share. Is there any solution to this?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2013 You can create a network account to be used for this purpose, and use RunAs to perform the actions as that network account. Then just give that account the required access to the share. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Brobbl Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thank you, JLogan3o13, yes, I have access to a Functional User that is basically a domain admin and has rights to write into the share. But I wanted to avoid Runas since I have to call an external script (Batch is easiest for this purpose i think). I already thought about creating a "copy.bat", calling it with Runas, and deleting it afterwards, but i thought there could be... well, a smarter way of solving this.

orbs Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 RunAs is the safest way, but you can also use DriveMapAdd. attention: this temporarily gives the admin rights to the running user; so you must disconnect (DriveMapDel) as soon as possible. you must also make sure the connection is not cached.

Depends on your definition of "smarter". I would simply write the script that does the job you want it to do, use FileInstall to drop it somewhere, use RunAs to run it, delete it. In, out, and done.
