Kinda sorta like runas... it's just seemless to the user. You configure AD to run any setup.exe as administrator on the domain which has rights on the machine. :) __________________________________________=20 Chip "The Automator" Gandy=20 Systems Architect - Systems Engineering & Data Management Cox Communications Atlanta, MIS=20 Voice: 404-847-6039 Fax: 404-269-3010=20 First Law of Traffic:=20 The slow lane you were stopped in starts moving as soon as you leave it. -----Original Message----- From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:EZiots@xxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 12:55 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Nice utility, going to gave to download that, basically runas with the application command line in a GUI format almost?=20 EZ -----Original Message----- From: Gandy, Chip (COX-Atlanta) [mailto:Chip.Gandy@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 12:11 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Application writing to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 I've run into apps like this on a desktop level. I don't flinch at telling the vendor it has to be fixed. It's not just a Citrix issue. If you were to install that app on a desktop with standard access, they would have the same issue. So I think that you could use that as leverage to get the vendor to fix the problem. Immediate need, well... that's another story. =3D20 EPAL - Elevated Privileges Application Launcher. It's a tool from Microsoft where you can assign a domain account that has local rights to run the specified application. That way, the users would be running that app as an admin or even a power users and they'd have rights to it. Microsoft Elevated Privileges Application Launcher The Elevated Privileges Application Launcher (EPAL) tool from Microsoft provides the ability to let an application launch under some other user privilege, so that it has access to certain components of the local registry or the file system. EPAL requires Active Directory for directory based control of the feature.

After installing it on my test box I found that it =3D3D creates, writes to, then deletes the file C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\TEMP.TMP = =3D3D during starting up. As a normal user doesn't have write access to this =3D3D directory the application falls over in a big heap. If I give them Full =3D3D Access to SYSTEM32 the application works fine. I have tried various = =3D3D things, including creating the file manually then giving the users full =3D3D access and dening delete, but this didn't work. I have contacted product support and they have confirmed it is a known = =3D =3D3D issue, however they are unlikely to fix this issue as they have very few =3D3D users (I may be the one only) that use Citrix so don't see it as =3D3D problem. I have a bad feeling about opening up Full Access to my SYSTEM32 =3D3D directory on live servers. Would you agree this is a bad thing to do? =3D3D Would you do it? Can anyone think of a way around this issue? I would welcome any comments on this, even if its "don't do it!" so I = =3D =3D3D can go back to my bosses.
