The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Remotely set Adminsitrative rights or group member

Asked by TheoViset in Windows XP Embedded, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Windows XP Embedded User Type adjustment or group assignment

I have several hundreds of Windows Embedded pc's in a closed network environment. Each pc has an Administrator user, and a user called User. The User logs in by default, and has limited rights. For instance, I can't perform any Admin task, e.g. Control Panel - Administrative tools - Local Security Policy returns 'Group Policy Error' You do not have permission to perform this operation.

Since I need Administrative rights to execute a batchfile to enable Automatic DST Adjustment and sync instantly using NET TIME \\ntpserver /set /y, i want to change the user type of all these PC's to Administrator, or add the User user to the Administrator group without the need to log in as Administrator.

Is there a way to do this remotely by sending some sort of batchfile to these computers and execute it so that it changes my user type or adds me to the Administrator group? i do have the Administrator password and all, it is just that the PC's have been configured incorrectly at installation, and due to the large number of PC's, i need an easy going procedure, that I can invoke remotely.

I have several ways to access the PC's by UltraVNC and a piece of software we developed ourselves, I just need to know the batchfile with regedit execution or any other command to change the user type ro group assigment. Our software will execute it as soon as it is locally present at the computer.
