changing IP Address - for a user possible ?

Snow-Munki · 19 Nov 2007 at 17:35

Hi,

I've created a small batch file which basically gives a user 3 options and it changes their IP Address ( depending if they are doing certain tasks )

However as a normal user they get access denied, but logged in as an admin it works fine. Any ideas how I can get around this ?

Maybe if you explained your goal with this batch file someone might have an alternative way of doing it.

You can add the batch file as a scheduled task. It has a "Run as" option where you can set the admin user and password. You'd probably have to run it in a loop and in such a way that it uses very few cycles.

Thanks.

Basically have potential laptop users who will go out of the office and they need to share files and folders between themselves. Forced to use a switch ( reasons which i won't bore you with ) so the laptops need static IP addresses.

All our users have user rights so unable to change network properties.

That's the jist of it really. This is just a temporary work around whilst I'm also looking at using 3g wireless cards to VPN back into the office.
