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!

running script as system

Asked by daniel416 in Visual Basic Programming

Hello,
My objective is to create single-use accounts on an AD server.
I am able to create accounts in AD with an application I made in C#. I want the accounts to be disabled after the user logs-in the first time, that way the accounts can only be used once.

I thought about running a logon script that I put in the Group Policy for that OU. It works when I run it, for my account for example, but I'm admin.

I'd like this script to run from the newly created account.
It makes sense that an Authenticated Users cannot disable their own accounts. I've been reading about elevating script privileges so that they can perform these kinds of tasks, but haven't been able to make it work.

Here's the script that disables the account it's running from. Again, only works for admins (one would hope!).
Also, if anyone has any suggestions of where to post a pointer to this question...

Thanks in advance
daniel416
