Those popups are simply mailslot messages. You might be able to find a bit of perl or (doubtfully) vbscript to do that directly.
The one thing I really wanted to say is that those messages aren't guaranteed, you might push in that direction to your management. If it is important for the people to get the messages you should use some method that you can 1. Verify when they got the message 2. Pretty much guarantee they got it The NET SEND messages don't fit either category. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 10:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Scripting question - Net Send command We're porting our old intranet (NT4/IIS4) to a new server (W2K3/IIS6) and have run into an authentication issue that I need some help with. There's a legacy code chunk that does a net send command to create a popup on a user's PC to tell them a new request has come in that they need to deal with. I'd prefer that they used email for this, but apparently checking email regularly is too much trouble for them. They want a pop-up. :-) The problem is that we can't get Net Send to launch properly. Here's the distilled code: <% dim oWSH Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") oWSH.Run "NET SEND " & "test4" & " testing." %> That is embedded into an ASP file, which is run by a user connecting to a webpage stored on the new IIS server. The rest of the script includes some authentication procedures that identify the logged on user and allow or deny page access based on AD Group membership. If I run it from my workstation, with my admin credentials, it runs fine. If I run it from a PC logged in as a standard user, we get "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied /CNK/ww2.asp, line 4". Is there a way to: 1. Force the net send command to securely run as a different user without exposing elevated credentials? 2. Use a different method to create the popup window?
