There's a legacy code chunk that does a net send command to create a popup on a user's PC to tell them a new request has come in that they need to deal with. I'd prefer that they used email for this, but apparently checking email regularly is too much trouble for them. They want a pop-up. :-) The problem is that we can't get Net Send to launch properly. Here's the distilled code: <% dim oWSH Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") oWSH.Run "NET SEND " & "test4" & " testing." %> That is embedded into an ASP file, which is run by a user connecting to a webpage stored on the new IIS server. The rest of the script includes some authentication procedures that identify the logged on user and allow or deny page access based on AD Group membership. If I run it from my workstation, with my admin credentials, it runs fine. If I run it from a PC logged in as a standard user, we get "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied /CNK/ww2.asp, line 4". Is there a way to: 1. Force the net send command to securely run as a different user without exposing elevated credentials? 2. Use a different method to create the popup window? Thanks for any help... ********************** Charlie Kaiser MCSE, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
