No, actually.  That's 0x80080005, which is a DCOM "access denied" error.  Are 
you quite sure this account has the privileges needed to run this software?

So, are you saying you don't need elevation to call this server, you only need 
it for other parts?  Can you spawn the COM access into a separate process?

2018-06-09 Thread Vernon D. Cole

look in github.com/salt-bevy/sudo.py

for a module which will request elevated privileges for a Python script
running as a normal user.
Perhaps that can help create a solution for your use case.

There is a sample call for it in bootstrap_bevy_member_here.py or you can
just run it from the command line with the script you want to run as
administrator as its arguments.

[python-win32] Dispatching something that requires elevation

2018-06-09 Thread Simon McConnell

Hi,

I am trying to dispatch a COM interface of a program that is set to "Run as
Administrator" in the Compatibility Settings of its properties.  Running
the script w/o elevation results in a 'requires elevation' error.  Running
the script with elevation results in a 'server execution failed' error,
which I understand to be "I can't find that thing".  Removing the "Run as
Administrator" from the Compatibility settings and running the script w/o
elevation works, but unfortunately, this program needs to be run as
administrator.  When opening the program manually I have to accept the UAC
popup and cannot turn it off thanks to Group Policy.  Any clues?

import win32com.client
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("CimplicityME.Application")


gives the error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 89, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\src\proficy.py", line
5, in 
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("CimplicityME.Application")
  File
"C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py",
line 95, in Dispatch
dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
  File
"C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 114, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
  File
"C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 91, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024156, 'The requested operation requires
elevation.', None, None)



If I run the script as administrator I get the following error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 89, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None)
