Software will not run as user with locked down account

[Edu-IT]

I'm trying to get IEP running as a staff member, but it won't. I assume this is due to permissions. I've ran ProcessMonitor to see exactly what the application is doing and got these logs.

 

Is there anything that blazingly stands out to anyone which would suggest why this software isn't working; is it writing to somewhere that is almost definately going to be locked down?

 

I'm going to run through the software restriction policies and see if I can find any matches but if there's anything anyone can suggest in the meantime.

[tommccann]

try making everyone a power user,

fixes so much stuff for me!!

[Edu-IT]

There doesn't appear to be any writes to areas that the user doesn't have access to. I think it may be that the program wants to run an 'install' when the user first runs it and because this is writing to areas they can't access, it's throwing up.

 

Power user on the machine is an option. Anyone suggest any negatives against this?

[ChrisH]

Don't do it! If It's IEP writer does it still install to the root of c: ? Give them permissions over that folder or where ever it is installed.

[IrritableTech]

Yep, power users will soon install every IE toolbar going. That's just for starters.

[Edu-IT]

The program is installed, it just doesn't recognise that it is for non-administrators so wants to run again, and of course it can't, and I've not got a clue why it's not recognising that it's not installed.

[2097]

There is a VBS script you can use which runs a piece of software as 'administrator' on limited accounts . It basically operates the same as right clicking and going to 'run as administrator' , after configuring the script you have to encode it to a VBE to protect the details of the admin account it uses .

Have a google for it

[Edu-IT]

I've ran the program through from opening to close and exported the log from Process Monitor.

I can only assume it's the C:\Windows stuff that's causing.

Have a google for it

 

Or make an AutoIt script to do the same thing and compile to an EXE

[Edu-IT]

Never done that before...?

 

I think I may just suggest writing IEP's by hand.

[JOrdan01070]

edu-it i had the same problems so in the end installed it on a share and have a link on the desktop to that share but i had to give full permission to users on that file for it to work. But it does mean that i don't have to install it on any other machine.

[Edu-IT]

I have to have it running from a virtual CD image for it to function, but even still it doesn't work.

 

It's not writing to any locations it doesn't have access to, am about to check what registry changes it's making on load.

 

I assume it'll have access to the likes of C:\WINDOWS\system32\imm32.dll anyway?

 

Edit: On load it's trying to write to the registry so I imagine this is the issue, staff users cannot right to the registry. Now lies the question of how do I let them write to this?

[JOrdan01070]

the only thing i can see written to the registry on my machine is

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

 

value name is S:\IEPV3\IEPWriterV3.exe

 

value data is IEPWriterV3

 

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1258120549-1222005858-40898867-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

 

value name is S:\IEPV3\IEPWriterV3.exe

 

value data is IEPWriterV3

 

hope this helps

[Edu-IT]

We're running version 2.

 

I think an upgrade may be necessary then. See the PM I sent you, just a couple of other questions!

Edited December 11, 2009 by Edu-IT

New Microsoft Word Document (4).doc

[JOrdan01070]

We paid to upgrade to v3.9.03 but because of a problem i had to change the IEPwriter EXE to version 3.7.1.2 hence why there are two IEPwriter Exe's, we are still awaiting for the issue to be resolved.

[Guest TheLibrarian]

I've used this in the past, it wasn't too difficult to configure, but I can't really remember much about it.

Microsoft Elevated Privileges Application Launcher

[Edu-IT]

Okay, so, I crated a folder on P:\IEP Writer and copied all of the files into there. I installed the templates and database to P:\IEP Witer\IEP but it now complains when I try to run it that it's not got the disc, which is why I had to run it as a virtual CD in the first place.

 

I take it you did the same with V3 and it just ran? What do you have in your IEPV3INI file?

I'm trying to remember what I had to do for IEP Writer.

 

IIRC (v3) there are per-user config files or you can point them to a single file.

 

It's not something daft like checking they can modify c:\windows\sims.ini ?

[ChrisH]

You can set permissions for reg keys in GP. You have to do it for the likes of the ALan testing software etc.

oShell.Sendkeys "YOUR_PASS"

 

Wscript.Quit

 

 

Make this into a VBS , Replace PAth with the full path to the file you want to run , and change the admin password

Now you want to encode this into a VBE file(sce10en.exe) , so prying eyes cant see what the admin password is

 

I would recomend making a seperate Domain Admin account just incase some 1 can decode the VBE you can remove the admin account easily..

 

This is a very easy method and works very well

Okay, the issue is that my configuration file has an InstallPath= and it wants to read from the CD each time.

 

It doesn't seem that this is present in V3? If I can get around this then we're fine.

 

I think an upgrade to V3 may be necessary.

 

You can't point it to the likes of P:\ as it knows this isn't a CD ROM drive.
