Vista - WScript.Shell -> Terminal Server 2008...

Hi guys!

OS: MS terminal server 2008
user rights: remote desktop user / domain user

I have a question, which is related to the command "Set wshShell =
CreateObject("WScript.Shell")". It stops with the error "800A0046 access
denied". If the user has administrative rights, everything works well. but I
don't want to grant these rights to this type of user.

The WMI-command "Set oReg =
GetObject("winMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer &
"\root\default:StdRegProv")" works fine.

It seems that the scripting works, but the command "CreateObject" doesn't.
The file "vbscript.dll" is on it's place, is registered and the read
permissions are correct, also for the "wscript.exe". Furthermore the command
"Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")" doesn't work, if I try to use
it in a script, which is started via the group policy setting
"computer/windows settings/scripts/startup". It seems that it only works
with administrative rights, although the system should even have the
required rights during the boot process, but it doesn't work. The script
should update a registry entry. The permissions are granted correctly. If
you try to do this with a WMI-"GetObject"-access (SetDWORDValue), everything
is running without any problem.

Is here anybody out there, who can kindly help me to resolve this problem?

Thank you for your help in advance.

There should be policy to allow you to run this script under user
rights - maybe GPO hasn't have correct settings ?

If group policy doesn't work have you tried "runas" ?

BTW. I'm not sure if W2K8 has this option runas to run scripts under
user rights... try to check policy.
