I know its possibly a very odd request but has anyone managed to find a tool/script around the limitation that MS have put on XP/2K/NT that only 'local administrators' can perform a "IPCONFIG /release or /renew"

I have a genuine reason for needing to do this. Have found a tool on the net called IPrefresh but the users still need to be at least 'Power Users'

All this will be called in a script too.
Help !

 

I've got a kix script which pops up all that info for users.

Want it?

 

Hi

Nothing to do with getting the users to see the detials as in XP its quite easy.

No, I need to actually run the 'ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew' as devices are moving VLAN's after machine authentication. Its a bit too much to go into here but thats the requriment....

Yeah - just read it properly - I'll ask the bloke that wrote the script I have, he'll know.

Is it not locked down in the system policy?

The remote command service rcmd.exe might do what you want, you can find it in the nt/2k resource kits.

 

Nope - there does not seem to be any policy settings for this. There is a MS q doc that says by design only 'Administrators' can do the commands.

RCMD - thats ok for remote stuff, but as the machine is authenticated the VLAN changes thus the machine needs to get a new IP address. All this is local.

ANy more help ?

 

use runas to do it.. but compile all the command into a package so it cant be seen... mail me if you want more info..
