Hi XPero,

this version grants access to the user Administrator, but not the group Administratoren (Administrators).

I think I've found another way of doing it. I will update the app soon this week or the next. Thanks for all Andre.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, no problem. I will test the new version asap after you release it

[MagicAndre1981]

any progress with the new version?

[XPero]

No sorry. I will post this week for sure.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, I will wait

[XPero]

Boooh, It doesnt work I will be adding a textbox, so people can supply "Administrators" in their own language.

[XPero]

OK, beta 2 out in 1st post Please Andre test this one. I think it is fixed. Cheers

[MagicAndre1981]

no, it still doesn't work on my German Vista

Hi XPero, you used "BUILDIN\Adminstrators" to grant control. This code snippet retrives the translated Name (in German: VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren"). I hope this will work. Could you include this code into your tool?

string getName(WellKnownSidType wksid)
{
	 SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier(wksid, null);
	 NTAccount account = (NTAccount)sid.Translate(typeof(NTAccount));
	 return account.Value;
}


getName(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid)
