Hi,

I am looking for a script that can enable the following GPO:

Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these device setup classes.

I found this code in another thread. I am hopeful something like this can be used for the setting I am trying to change.

This disables changing home page settings (User ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesWindows ComponentsInternet Explorer) - Enable

run(@comspec & " /c gpedit.msc")
WinWaitActive("Group Policy")
send("{down 8}{right}")
sleep(1000)
send("{down}{right}")
sleep(1000)
send("{down 2}{tab}")
sleep(1000)
send("{down 11}")
sleep(1000)
send("!ar")
WinWaitActive("Disable changing home page settings Properties")
send("!e")
ControlClick("Disable changing home page settings Properties", "", "Button6" )

I know what the sleep is doing is I am just not sure of the sends. I assume they are mouse clicks or keyboard movements.

Any help adjusting this code would be appreciated. Thanks.

Send Sends simulated keystrokes to the active window.

Run Au3Recorder and let it create the AutoIt script for you while you change the setting in GPEdit.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. Do I need to adjust this after running Au3Recorder so that when it is runs with on a system where the user does not have admin rights? I can push the compiled EXE so it runs under the System context. So maybe I don't need to adjust the script??

Why do you set the GPO on the client side? Wouldn't it be easier/safer to do it on the server side?

I would agree it would make more sense to do it this way. Not sure why an AD OU's can't be tweaked. Its not like its a non AD shop, but I am not sure if all of the computers are in AD. Trust me I don't like the bang head on wall approach.

At least "#RequireAdmin" needs to be added to the script.
