Hello,
We are constructing a script that will be launched from the end of the
domain login script in our AD environment. This script will query the
registry for the latest critical updates, determine which are missing and
install the missing updates. We have it working, except that we have to
reference a local Administrator/password when using the RunAs command to
install any missing patches. This Admin/Password pair is in plain text in
the script, and for security reasons, we only want to have one local
administrator per workstation. Is there a way with VBScript to hide (hash)
a domain account password, or install a patch locally while logged on as a
member of the Local Users group? Basically, the ciritical updates need to
be installed by a local administrator, and we need a way to run these
updates from a VBScript login as that local administrator while not
compromising the seecurity of the system. Any thoughts greatly
appreciated...!!
Thanks,
Chris
