Need vbscript to run in user mode
Hi All,
I need to create a vb script which will be executed through a shortcut. This shortcut will be executed under restricted account occasionally to stop a service by the end users to perform certain updates. While this service is running, they can't perform the update, that is why the service must be stopped by the end users. As the restricted accounts don't have the permission to stop a service.. I need to write a vb script which needs to Runas Administrator..
Can any one help one this...
Regards,
Sanhivi

For any scripted solution, you will need to devise a way to encrypt the admin account's password. It would be an order of magnitude easier if your package was built so that it stopped the service and restarted it after a successful install.

It might be better if you didn't let your users update their software at all and instead handled it via packaging & distribution. Your package could handle automatically stopping the service, replacing the files, and starting it back up again. If your updates are frequent, you'll probably want to implement a process where you apply patches or design the package so that you can easily recompile it with new versions of the files and rev it for distribution.

if you want to request administator rights from user you can set "RunAsAdmin flag for shortcut. See shortcut advance settings.
