Hello

We are trying to deploy a batch file which copies a dll file into the user's
profile, which works well. However, the dll will not register unless the user
is a local admin on the machine. The path is C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns\file.dll.

Does anyone know of a way around this? Is there a buried setting in Group
Policy Editor?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Mark Clark

Mark,

maybe a long shot, but can you use the 'run as' command to register the dll?

Yes, we considered it, but then the credentials would be available to read.
The batch file, to be applied via GPO is has read rights for authenticated
users

Is it possible to achieve the dll register via a startup script?

It would use the local system account to perform the task, which has total
rights over the machine?

I'd certainly give it a whirl on a test user.
