How to create a TCP/IP port without admin
I have a widely arrayed user base and I have a web page that loads a batch
file with the prnport.vbs to install printer ports and drivers. The local users require admin privs to create a TCP/IP port however. I cannot use a print server because of the distributed nature of the userbase, so I have to find a way to allow *as granularly as possible* a non-privileged account the access to create a standard tcp/ip port. I've been hacking through group policy (domain and local) and the registry to no avail thus far. Granting admin privs is not an option, obviously. |

How to create a TCP/IP port without admin
minimum is Power User to add ports for XP
same for drivers but you must add the Load driver privilege to the Power Users group also. In Vista (and Windows 7 -- coming to a you soon) users can add signed package drivers and TCP Ports. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
