Adding TCP printer ports w/ admin rights

[giggity]

I am trying to add some tcp printer ports for non admin users via login script. I am trying to use RunAsSet to handle the admin rights. I have compiled a total of two scripts in order to try and accompplish this task. The first executable simply calls the second executable with admin rights. I am trying to execute these scripts off a network share so I don't know if thats causing a problem.

Code inside first executable

RunAsSet("administrator","mydomain","password")
Run("addport.exe")
RunAsSet()
Exit

I have tested the second executable by running it by itself under an administrator account without any errors whatsoever so I know the code works. When I try and execute the code as an admin or non admin off the network share with the first executable I get the following error:

I've found the same problem with RunAsSet (running it off a network share).

Try creating a shortcut to the exe and setting the working directory to be a local drive. (e.g. C:, D: etc)

In XP, "runas" command fails when you run programs from mounted network drives.

To get around it, you may

1) copy file to local disk for its execution

2) use the UNC path (Eg \\192.168.1.23\myshare\myprog.exe)
