I used a batch file to call an app that would do the trick. I placed the file in the login script and it worked on about 9 out of 10 computers. On the rest, I installed it manually. I can email you the script and program if you would like.

I have used the runas command before, but I am unsure if there is a way to make an app ALWAYS run as over the network.

Hi, I am trying to run a startup script that will call a program (snetcfg). I would like to make it so that when the user logs in, the snetcfg file will run under administrator permisssions. Here is a snippet of the batch file to call the program. Is there a way to make the script run at...

I ran the tool and it didn't seem to make any changes. Am I doing something wrong? - I unzipped it to a folder and double clicked the .bat file. A command box popped up, something was written in it and it closed. The file sharing box was not checked after a reboot.

I think you are right. On my client pc I have three shares - $admind, C$, and IPC$ - They are all there for "administrative purposes and I think that is all needed.

I have made it a habit to check the logs to see if I am getting any warings. I was given an MP warning for IIS before I had it installed and you may be able to solve problems quickly by browsing the site status log for errors
