User Information
I'm writting up some documentation right now to help users that have basic knowledge of windows to find out what type of account they are logged in as. Is there anyway through javascript or any other web based way of displaying this information to them?
Or is there a simple way the user can find out what type of account they have (and possibly other information)?

Sorry for being so general. I'm talking about local permissions.
Shroder,
> local permissions
You mean local NTFS permissions, or all the rights the person has on the local machine, like the ability to log on locally and so forth?

Shroder,
Open a Command Prompt windows (CMD.EXE) and type this:
NET USER <USERNAME>
To output the results to a file
NET USER <USERNAME> >C:\Accnt.txt
This fix will have all the information about that user account.

Sorry for my ignorance. Can I use that as vbscript?
Shroder,
You can separate the HTML from the VBScript and use the VBScript portion. Also, if you can be more specific about exactly what pieces of information you want, then it's possible that the experts might be able to supply you with a script that'll provide exectly, or at least more closely, what you're looking for.

Actually if I can get part of your snippet to work I can figure out the rest.
I'm getting the following error:
"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done"
using the following code:
<script LANGUAGE='VBSCRIPT'>
Dim objSysinfo
Dim objItem
Set objSysinfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo
MsgBox objSysInfo.UserName
</script>

As I mentioned earlier, I'm not actually terribly good at this... I've just copied and pasted! As fas as I know it will only work on domain members, but someone else will probably be able to help you much more than that.
Sorry!

No problem. :) Thanks for the help so far.

Looks like that is suppose to work. It has problems with XP SP 2 though.
Thanks for the points - sorry I couldn't be more helpful though...

> what type of account they are logged in as
I don't understand what you mean. Are you talking about a local account versus a domain account, or ... what?
Cheers!
