apply admin right to vbs script

[TonyMiles]

I've just taken over at a Primary school that has a 2008 R2 Server and 90 win 7 clients all on static ip's.

 

I need to enable DHCP on all machines and I was hoping to achieve this by using GPO.

 

I have a bat files that runs netsh commands which works on XP and only works on win 7 when I 'Run as administrator' needless to say when I deploy it via GPO nothing happens.

 

Is there any way I can run the script with the admin credentials?

 

Thanks in advance

Are you setting it as a computer startup script in GP or a user logon script?

 

My understanding of it is if it is applied by GP as a computer startup script it should be running with system privilages which should get the job done. If it still does not work I think you would need a vbs script that elevates its permisions before preforming the task.

 

Hope this helps.
