View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetThreadPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericIdentity("UserName"), Nothing))

Im developing an application with Visual Basic 2005 and Oracle Database.It runs perfectly in my developing computer.When I am going to install it in the customer servers, I do it:
1. I install Oracle Database in a dedicated server with Windows 2003.
2. I install the Oracle Client, my application, Oracle Develop Tools for Windows and .NET Framework 2.0 in other dedicated server with Windows 2000.When in this second server, I login in Windows 2000 with "ADMIN" account, the aplication runs 100% perfectly, and oracle database too.
But the problem is : When an user try to connect to the second server without be "ADMIN", (So he's a simple user) the application runs but when it try to connect oracle an exception occurs (in the end of this message I put it).All folders of my application and oracle database have all permisions to all. What can be happen? This is the exception (sorry because its in spanish)[code].....
I have an MS access database that has fomrs with buttons to do certain tasks - a "console" or "toolkit". I am trying to run cmd.exe as the local administrator using this command....
Call Shell("C:WINDOWSsystem32
unas.exe /noprofile /user:administrator cmd.exe")
If my domain account is added to the local administrators this works fine (it asks for a password - is there any way round this?)
If i visit another PC in the domain on which i am not a local administrator, it doesnt work and i don't know why In both scenarios i can manually browse to cmd.exe and right click and runas a differnt user without any problems.Also, is there a more efficient way of running this command?
on XP Pro, IsUserRole(eUserType.Administrator) returns true, if the class is administrator, and false if it's limited...
On Vista, it returns true, if it's the first administrator account, and false for anything else... I created a second administrator account on Vista, and it shows in code as "Standard" (or limited) user, the same as if I made a "Managed Account" on Vista...

View 5 RepliesI've written a service in VB and a config app for the service which has a service start/stop button. In order to start and stop the service you need admin rights, under Windows 7 you right click on the exe and "run as administrator". This works ok, I've used the Visual Studio Installer to also create a desktop shortcut, but if you right click on the shortcut there is no way to run as administrator.
The question therefore is, how to run the shortcut as an admin user? Edit, if you hold shift down whilst right clicking you get the "Run as administrator" option, but you still can't change the advanced property to tick the box as its grayed out.
I am wondering if it is possible to run an application from a domain account that has restrictions on running .exe files by coding in the local administrator details (username / password).

View 3 RepliesI have a login screen (frmLoginScreen) which links to a main menu (frmMainMenu) then to another form (frmUserDetails). Their are two possible usernames. The first one the user logs in as Admin and the password is 4321, then the second one is Guest and no password. This is the code I have so far:
Dim G As New frmUserDetails
If txtUsername.Text = "Guest" Then
G.btnDelete.Enabled = False
End If
There are no errors.
I'm trying to change the password of an AD account in our domain. The program is supposed to locate the sAMAccountName property in AD through an LDAP connection, and then do two things. 1) unlock the user's account by setting the "LockOutTime" property to zero and 2) change the password to a pre-defined password in the code. I've got the program unlocking accounts, but I can't get it to change passwords.
I've tried the line "DirectoryEntry.Properties("userPassword").Value = "xxxxx". I've also tried the DirectoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", New Object() {"xxxxx"}) but neither of them work. The first one throws no exceptions but doesn't change the password, and the second one will give me the message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
i am trying to make a program that registers and account on a website?
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("date_month").InnerText = ComboBox1.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("date_day").InnerText = ComboBox2.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("date_year").InnerText = TextBox1.Text
[code]....
1. When i inpute the month, it doesnt input it, it just makes the combobox on the website smaller for some reason
2. I cant get the email working because you must put your birhtday before it shows where to put your email, obviously fixing the first problem should fix this.
3. There are 2 radiobuttons on the website, for a boy and a girl and I have 2 radiobuttons in my form, however I have exactly no idea how to program it to change.

Ok this is what I'm stuck on:I have 2 ListBoxes and 2 Lists, let's call them ListBox1, ListBox2, List1 and List2.List1 needs to be associated with ListBox 1, and List2 with ListBox2 I loop through a bunch of accounts, add them to LixBox1 at run-time.During that loop I add each account number to List1 so now the account number is associated with the ListBox index number which is right.Now when I double click one of the accounts in ListBox1 it is added to ListBox2 (but it still remains in ListBox1), and the same index of List1 added to List 2, now the account in ListBox2 is associated with the account number at the same index in List2 you see where I'm going with this?The issue wtarts here.When I double click an account (let's say the account at the first index) in ListBox2 it should be removed from the list, so now I remove the index from List2 since it's no longer needed, but now you know what's happened right? ListBox2's List indexes have all decremented by 1 because I just removed an item from the beginning of the list, but List2's indexes have stayed the same (at least that's how it appeared when I tested it).
So basically whats the best method for keeping things in reference? I was told about list boxes in another thread of mine, but is it really the best way to go about this, I can't seem to keep everything linked together reliably.
