Hello all,
I am putting together a usb unit for work that autoruns on windows boxes and my vbscirpt is running into "Access is denied" errors. My script runs just fine, but when it runs a command the command looks like it is running...
I have it echoing the "command executed"
Next line it says Access is denied...
All of the files the script needs are there where the vbs is being ran. However, if I ran the script locally on the box it would work. I am sure my problem is that to get the script to run you have to use a cdfs partition...
Any ideas? I tried this with a batch runnign off of the stick, but its obviously something to do with the way cdfs partitiosn are held.

An Error 5 is usually an indication of insufficient privilege level. Are you running within a context that has all the necessary privileges for the command? Try running your vbs with Administrator or Local System privileges. And is this on XP/Server 2003 or Vista/Server 2008? -

It was XP pro, home and on server 2003. I eventually got it to work with a combination of using cscript and impersonation and a batch script. obSHell.Run for example absolutely hated running the exe...
I think alot of it also hadf to do with the fact that the script I was working on was crafting packets.. which I guess needs more permissions with the Windows API.
