RegWrite with Administrative Permissions

[srb]

Hi,

Any suggestions how I can write a registry key with administrative permissions without calling an external program such as reg.exe?

I've tried using the RunAsSet function but this doesn't seem to apply to the RegWrite function

E.g.

RunAsSet("administrator", "AD Domain Name", "password", 2)

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CUSTOMUPDATE\ZFD\AGENT\SP2", "UPDATENUMBER", "REG_DWORD", "10")

If the user has local admin permissions the the registry key is created/modified successfully.

If the user does NOT have local admin permissions the registry key is not created/updated.

Thanks

what about?:

RunAsSet("administrator", "AD Domain Name", "password", 2)
Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CUSTOMUPDATE\ZFD\AGENT\SP2", "UPDATENUMBER", "REG_DWORD", "10")')

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CUSTOMUPDATE\ZFD\AGENT\SP2", "UPDATENUMBER", "REG_DWORD", "10")')

Jos,

Thanks for the reply.

I've added your code into my script but I get the following error:

Line -1:

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

Access is denied

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you running the script from a network share or from a local directory to which the AD account doesn't have enough rights ? Edited December 4, 2007 by Jos

The exe is running from a UNC path where the user has read only permissions.

I'll run the exe locally to verify that it's a network issue.

Hi,

I try to use the following code :

RunAsSet('Admin', 'AD domaine', 'Password', 0)
Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Namtuk\wpe", "Message_AutoReply", "REG_SZ", "dormir")')

But I have the following error message box:

Line 1:

RegWrite(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Namtuk\wpe, Message_AutoReply, REG_SZ, dormir")

RegWrite(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE^ERROR

Error: Missing separator character after keyword

The code is used locally on the machine

Can you help me
