- and users can't install or start/stop services.

Because of the nature of our environment, all users are local admins so it
worked fine for me.

This script could be modified to run winvnc.exe - install as admin (I
think, it works for other things).  You can probably find a script to
encode it so you don't have to worry about someone opening the file and
seeing the admin password.

Hi,

> I'm interested to know if this kind of script can work on W2K

As far as I know, it won't because the script has this line -

>rem Install the service
>C:\Progra~1\ORL\VNC\WinVNC.exe -install

- and users can't install or start/stop services.

With Windows 2k - you could get VNC on the boxes with:

1) Fashpush (sorry for blowing my own trumpet) at www.darkage.co.uk

2) Make a MSI file with the Active Directory toolkit and make it a forced
published application to your 2k boxes (no effect on NT4 tho).

3) Or, if you have Novell 4, 5 or 6 - make a zen object and force it on to
user
workstations via the login script.

All of the above options uses extra technology to assume admin rights when
the installer kicks off.

Not as far as I am aware..... what you could do - and it would be a bit
scary -
would be to use something like SU or RUNAS and run a VNC installing batch
file from the login script. Of course, you run the risk of someone finding
your
admin password from that, so like I said, it's a bit dodgy.

Hope that helps!

Later,
Richard
