Hi,

I created a login script in GPO to install some fonts in a client computer,
because the clinet has no admin rights, the script does not work (run time
error) but i i give the client admin permission to the computer then it is
fine.

How can i use the GPO to elivate the user permission so that the fonts can
be installed?

is there anyway i can do that?

Many Thanks

This is supported by MSI / windows installer.

I would suggest you post the question to a MSI / WI group.

Use a Startup script.  That runs as SYSTEM and will have the necessary
permissions.

What are the permissions on the shared folder?  The computer account of the
systems running the script need access.  Authenticated Users will allow this
access.

Thanks again for the reply

The computer account has full control access to the shared folder, i also
added the Authoenticated Users as u told me,. but that did not work. The
error is "Path Not Found"

I did add the computer account and the Authenticated Users to the Share
Permission and to the NTFS permission, but no result, the same error

Thanks

Nile

Hi Paul

You seem to have resolved the user's problem but there is no mention of the
solution so could you please tell me what it was? I have a similar issue with
startup scripts but mine is more specific in that the startup script can't
access a file share on a cluster using the cluster name but if I use the
active node name then it can.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
David

Paul, I'm also interested in the solution becasue I have similar issue with
startup scripts, it seems unable to use UNC paths from the xp clients. The
GPO script i
uses DNS alias for the server.

Thanks in advance
