[AccessD] OT (sorta) security impersonation

Brett,

I know little of creating services, but if the local user has access to the
directories you are interested in, this may help.  Watch out for wrap.

Copy Folders Using WMI

Description
Uses WMI to copy the folder C:\Scripts to D:\Archive.

Script Code 

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colFolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
    "Select * from Win32_Directory where Name = 'c:\\Scripts'")
For Each objFolder in colFolders
    errResults  = objFolder.Copy("D:\Archive")
    Wscript.Echo errResults
Next

Subject: [AccessD] OT (sorta) security impersonation


For quite a while now I have used a simple batch file to automatically copy
new files to a users' desktop.  Now, I have a new challenge. All of our
workstations are configured to restrict access to the WINNT directory and
its subdirectories.  To copy a file to these directories I need to be logged
on as an 
admin.
I would like to develop a VB app that would run on each desktop, either as a
normal executable or as a service, that would authenticate itself as an
admin and copy the necessary files.  If I run it as a service, it looks like
I can setup a security profile for the service in the control panel.
 
Has anyone out there done anything like this?
Drew, I know that you have a lot of experience with creating services.  Any
good resources that you can point me to?
