First, an apology. This is my first attempt at what I think (hope) may be a
cross-post. (I'm not that familiar with posting to newsgroups so please
don't flame me if I've done it incorrectly. I've tried posting to a single
newsgroup but haven't found the info I'm looking for... hence this first
attempt to post to multiple newsgroups at the same time. I understand this
is the 'proper' way to ask in various newsgroups, all at the same time,
rather than send the same query to individual newsgroups.)
Second - my problem...
Our cloned PC's include a 'Change Clone' script that lets our PC installers
change the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, computername and workgroup via
popup input boxes. So far, so good.
I need to add "remove the 'Windows User' account from the 'Administrators'
group' " to the "Change Clone" script. Up to now I've used AutoIt ('cos I
don't know any other way). It works but I realise it's a kludge.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, via a VBS/WMI (or whatever)
script, how I can remove a 'Windows User' account [Power User] from the
'Administrators' group and leave it as a Power User?
I've trawled the 'Google' group archives but can't find anything relevant
(we use Novell - not MS - so ADSI scripts aren't the answer).
PS - Is there a more appropriate newsgroup for queries about large-scale
setups and deployment than microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment?
I've seen so may queries re: individual users losing MS Product ID's, etc.
and wondered if there was a 'commercial/industrial/organisational' newsgroup
I would be better off following. I mean no disrespect to individual users
but some problems are different for larger-scale setups and deployment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
