Running a cscript.exe as LOCAL SYSTEM account and IE cache corruption for that account.
When running a cscript.exe wsf file that references a script that retrieved from the internet is it possible that some sort of IE cache corruption or permissions issue in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows will cause the script to fail to retrieve the external resource?
Also, is there some sort of known condition that will cause the permissions on C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows to not be set to any valid user?
The system profile is set to be protected. It should not be modified.
You cannot run a file downloaded from the Internet. It is tagged (blocked) and cannot be used until it is unblocked.
PowerShell has a CmdLet that does this: Unblock-File <filename>

Running 10G as a non local system account on Windows Server 2003
Hi,
I have an Oracle 10G database running on Windows Server 2003, SP2. I have created the database and it all works fine while the service is running as the default local system account. However, when I change the user that the service runs as to a different account the database starts and opens, and I can log on as SYS using a bequeath connection but I am unable to log on as any other user going through the listener. The listener responds to TNSpings, and all seems to be OK. When I switch it back to the local system user again it all works fine.
Can anyone offer any advice or help?
Thanks,
RobThat's probably because the listener is still running as the local system account. Have you tried to change the listener service to run as the same account as the Oracle service?

Hello,
I have a WScript File that includes an external resource (js file).
It works on one computer and it does not work on another computer.
If I run this file from a normal admin command prompt everything runs fine on both computers.
If I run this file from the Local System account using PsExec it runs fine on one of the computers and throws an error "Cannot Retrieve referenced URL" on the other computer.
The reason I want it to run from the Local System account is that it is executed from a Windows Service.
Is there some setting or some way for the IE cache to get corrupt on the Local System account or something like that?JRV,
You are by far the worst 'support' person I've ever seen. If you aren't going to be thoughtful in providing support, don't pretend. If you're going to pretend, leave your condescension on the shelf. You have provided no thoughtfulness whatsoever to his issue,
and have in no way improved the discourse. You are arrogant and condescending without exhibiting any intelligence whatsoever. I'm impressed Matt kept calm through your demeaning, counterproductive diatribes.
Matt,
First I'd check UAC settings, because I believe that can change how elevation works substantially.
Second, I would check the versions of wscript.exe on both machines, both in System32 and SysWow, and I'd check for updates bypassing WSUS to make sure there's not something silly going on there (totally a shot in the dark, catch-all theory).
Have you made any headway in the last few weeks?
-John
This is not a support forum and it is not for assistance in fixing broken configurations. It is a scripting forum. The OP proved that the issue is not the script but the environment it is running in. You should not get mad just because you are
not getting satisfaction.

SMA on Windows 7 with local system account
Hello,
I use SMA on Windows 7.
When I launch the wizard (sma.exe) to capture the profiles with an admin account : it works, i have myfile.sma and myfile.sma.DriveC, which contains all profiles.
But if I launch the same wizard (sma.exe) with Local System account, none of profiles are saves, so I don't have a myfile.sma.DriveC, juste myfile.sma one.
(i must use Local System account)
(to launch sma.exe as a local system account on Windows vista/7, you have to run cmd.exe as an admin, then launch "psexec -i -s cmd.exe" (so you have to dl psexec))
ThanksWhen I launch SMA under the "SYSTEM" account, it seems the problem is that the user folders are not selected by default (even if you select the user accounts to migrate). So you have to select the files and folders that you want to migrate (e.g. the "c:\users" folder). When I did this, then I got both the .sma file and the .DriveC file in the location that I specified.
The way I run as "SYSTEM" is by replacing c:\windows\system32\magnify.exe with c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and then choosing the Magnifer option at the windows logon screen (note that you have to take ownership of magnify.exe in order to replace it). This gives me a command prompt at the logon screen to do whatever I want to.
I don't think SMA was really designed to be run this way (under the "SYSTEM" account), so if you're still having problems after trying the above, then you're going to need to change your process to run SMA under an actual user account or else find some other tool to use. -
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.

Ifweb60 processes run as local system account on w2k- how do i change?
i am running forms 6i on an 2000 box using
the forms servlet config and oc4j with 9ias.
this runs fine except that the ifweb60 processes
are owned by the local system account. this in
turn means i can't map the forms60_path to a
network drive because i can't give network
privileges to a local system account. so,
how do i change the account that spawns the
ifweb60 processes?
thanks,
martaNever mind, resolved this myself by using the netbios name to substitute the value I need on each individual domain.
$domain = Get-ADDomain | Select-Object -expandproperty netbiosname
Set-Location "dc=$domain,dc=dom,dc=co,dc=uk'
Sets location as:
PS AD:\dc=a,dc=dom,dc=co,dc=uk>
ON another domain same script results
PS AD:\dc=b,dc=dom,dc=co,dc=uk>
Exactly what I needed! -
FMS Developer Ed & Local System account
Is it only possible to run the FMS service as the Local
System account in Windows Server 2003? I tried to change the Log On
params to a user with privileges to another server's share but the
service won't start up afterward. And in the info box in the FMS
Admin app there is a little tiny tooltip within the popup message
that says something about "License info". I changed the user back
to Local System account and the service started up right away. I'm
trying to test an app's ability to access a different path that's
set in the application.xml <VirtualDirectory><Streams>
node.
So, is it a limitation of the FMS Developer edition or is it
something on our end? I thought the only limitation was 10
conncections.... i have unchecked that from there and again after some minutes say 10 -15 minutes it gets locked ...
Hi,
Perhaps you can look into these areas for stored (and expired) password:
Check to see if there are any Services that is running using the affected administrator account.
Check to see if there are any Scheduled Tasks running using the affected administrator account.
Hope that helps.

"Local System" Deployment and double hop scenarios
Hi all,
I was wondering if some of you have implemented a good solution dealing with the fact that all ConfigMgr 2012 Applications got executed in local system context and that there is no good solution to execute them with other credentials. We checked the options
in a TS to run with different credentials as well as Network Access Accounts (winrm, remoting)
Both solutions doesn't fit our requirements. We usually deploy some infrastructure components or roles using ConfigMgr 2012. Many of these applications use Cmdlets provided by the vendor to install and configure. Some of these Cmdlets connect back to other
infrastructure components and produce a double hop scenario. Citrix infrastructure components are a good sample.
As it is not allowed to impersonate a user by local system, it's really hard to find a good solution which still allows "natural" powershell scripts without several hacks.
I'think we have found a good solution for creating PSCredentials in our scripts and use them to invoke the commands, but we still see the double hop issue then.
My question is:
- Do you guys face the same issues in real life? How do you deal with "local system" and "domain accounts" used for SW Distribution?
- Do you use CredSSP ? Any hints or suggestions regarding this?
- Any other cool idea to impersonate or address double hop ?Hi Sebastian,
>no good solution to execute them with other credentials.
>allows
"natural" powershell scripts without several hacks.
There is no perfect solution to including credentials, but there are some good options out there. One is to use a Task Sequence to deploy your application with the "Run
Command Line" step which allows you the option to "Run this step as the following account". Another option is to include
the password with the PowerShell script.
Both options allow you to remove the hop of executing as Local System by default. Both options have the same drawback that the password is not really securely stored
(they are encrypted somewhat reversibly).
> different credentials as well as Network Access Accounts
The Network Access Account is (and should be) only used for downloading content from the distribution point. It is not used to execute things locally on the managed device.
>Do you use CredSSP ? Any hints or suggestions regarding this?
Are there any specific problems you are having with CredSSP
that arent explained here?
I hope that helps,

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
So, I'm having some problems getting a logon script to work. I need a way to deploy the agent that we use via login/startup scripts and what I have works fine if the user has admin rights, or if UAC is disabled. I've tried to convert the .exe
to an .msi to make it easier, but the .msi never works and it's only distributed as an .exe. We deploy this to different clients, I can't disable UAC in their environment unless they specifically tell us to. Can anyone think of a way around this?
I've been searching for days and I'm just lost. If we could execute the file as the system account, or connect to shares using a startup script instead of logon, that would be perfect. Basically what it does is check to see if the process for the
agent is running (agentmon.exe) so we don't attempt to install it if it is already installed, if it's not, then it calls on a different agent installer depending on the IP address of the system (for clients that have more than one location). Here's what

The Deploy Agents install package is created using a Configure Automatic Account Creation wizard. The wizard copies agent settings from an existing machine ID or machine ID template and generates an install package called
KcsSetup.All settings and pending agent procedures from the machine ID you copy from—except the machine ID, group ID, and organization ID—are applied to every new machine ID created with the package.
Including Credentials in Agent Install Packages
If necessary, an agent install package can be created that includes an administrator
credentialto access a customer network. Credentials are only necessary if users are installing
packages on machines and do not have administrator access to their network. The administrator credential is encrypted, never available in clear text form, and bound to the install package.

Msiexec /qn fails when its not run using the built-in local administrator account
Hello all,
I am working on a project where I am trying to automate the deployment of VMs through a self-service portal.
Among other tasks such as clone VM, sysprep it, assign an IP, create AD computer object, join VM to domain and so on..., i need to install a few applications using msiexec, which is driving me crazy...
For this purpose, I am using a local user account part of the administrators group.
Please note, UAC is disabled on all the OS.
Basically, the msi installation works as expected on Windows 7 machines, however on Windows 8/2012, it fails due to lack of permissions. The curious thing is that if I use the built-in\administrator account instead for the deployment on those systems, the
application is installed correctly.
I have tested some things such as: DisableMSI (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368304%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), but although it progresses a bit further, it keeps failing.
Does anyone know what I can do to allow an user part of the administrators local group to be able to install using msiexec /qn?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
Does it work if you use the account in local admin, and run the commands prompt as administrator to install the msi file? Please know that Only the built in administrator account has admin privilege by default. On other admin accounts you need
to run with elevated privilege (ie runas).
I would like to know if you use SCCM to perform your deployment with task sequence.
As I known, even if you disable UAC, the following policy is still enabled to detect application installation.
Computer configuration\Windows settings\Security Settings\Local
Policies\Security Options -> User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation policy
Please disable this policy to see if your issue can be fixed.

Why my System Look and feel got corrupted ??
HI ,
I have written a simple swing app which consists of jtextarea in a jscrollpane , and a jbutton, in which the textarea is updated with random text.

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() );
in the constructor ..
but the components went messy in the output !!!
It'sn't a system look and feel ..
I tried inserting in a static block before the constructor and tried changing the theme ... but in vain

I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
Do the min setup on the TC..
1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.
