How to add gruop

[JaCro]

Hi,

I need to add registry entry for adding one group that allow remote desktop connection to windows XP desktop computers. It's only solution for me because we can't use Group Policy... I thought of using batch file as logon script that will add this registry entry locally...

TIA,

JaCro

If I understand correctly, you want to add a group/user to the "Remote Desktop Users" group?

Dim strPDC

Dim strLocalMachine

Dim strUser

Dim strGroup

strPDC="domain or computername here"

strUser="Group/User here"

strGroup="Remote Desktop Users"

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strLocalMachine = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%computername%")

Set oDomain = GetObject("WinNT://" & strLocalMachine)

Set oGroup = oDomain.GetObject("Group", strGroup)

If oGroup.IsMember("WinNT://" & strPDC & "/" & strUser) = False Then

oGroup.Add ("WinNT://" & strPDC & "/" & strUser)

End If

Set oDomain=Nothing

Set oGroup=Nothing

I believe you will have to be logged in with a domain account for this script to work if you are adding a domain group.

You're right... I need to add a group from domain to the local group "Remote Desktop Users". But still... does this user must have administrative rights for adding this group to "Remote Desktop Users" group? I want to add this with my logon scipt... Is it possible or not?

Thanks,
