Status: offline 		Is there a way to open up a new windows explorer (explorer.exe) window ..... whose default view is set to the hidden share (c$) on a remote PC ?

I am trying to do this Via a button on a HTA

From my understanding, I can use the network object to Map a network drive (but again, unsure how to damn well do this with alternate credentials)

Hrrrrmmm.......

Anyway tried to do this before ?


SIDE NOTE: I am REALLY getting sick of this dodgy alternate credentials stuff in VBscript.

set WshShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("net use z: \\server\share /user:domain\username password")

for information on how to Open the explorer window to the drive take a look here

set WshShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
strComputer="XXX"

WshShell .Run("explorer.exe \\" & strComputer & "\C$")

Little known Windows tip:  Explorer.exe accepts a command line value ;)

FYI, VBScript is there to administer the PC, therefore Admin priviliges is preferred.



You can't say: Sick of getting a ticket for not having a drivers license, but still want to drive

Add a person to that group, have that person logoff/on.

This Global group needs to be watched carefully.

In a perfect world, that would be nice. But when you work in a global organization with a massive IT infrastructure, you cant go giving admin rights to every tom dick and harry

Nice analogy, but doesn't really apply. I was trying to make the point that VBscript is used to administer REMOTE PC's (as well as local)... therefore, there should be some more objects available within the script to help with connecting under different accounts. Having to use things such as "runas.exe" etc just feels so backward ........

Here's what I did:

'===============================

Sub Authenticate

Machine = "XXX"
strAdminUser = "YYY"
strAdminPass = "ZZZ"

ReturnCode = oShell.Run("net use \\" & Machine & "\c$ " & strAdminPass & " /user:" & strAdminUser,,True)

  If ReturnCode = 2 Then
     Remote_Access_Granted = 0
  ElseIf ReturnCode = 0 Then
     Remote_Access_Granted = 1
     Last_Connected_Machine = Machine
  End If

If Remote_Access_Granted = 1

   strConnect_Explorer = "oShell.Run(""c:\windows\explorer.exe \\" & Machine & "\c$"")" 
   Execute(strConnect_Explorer)

End If

End Sub
