Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
>From your post, my understanding of this issue is: when the users try to
run a batch file to restart the computer, they get an error message saying
"A required privilege is not held by the client". If this is not correct,
please feel free to let me know.
Actually, to restart or shutdown the computer via Shutdown command, the
user must be a member of Administrators group. If you don't want to add
the users to Administrators group, you may try to use the following script
to run the batch file:
<package>
<job id="vbs">
<script language="VBScript">
dim wshShell
set wshShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wshShell.run("runas /u:ADMINISTRATOR a.bat")
Wscript.Sleep 100
wshShell.AppActivate "Runas"
Wscript.Sleep 300
wshShell.SendKeys "PASSWORD"
Wscript.Sleep 100
wshShell.SendKeys "~"
Wscript.Sleep 100
</script>
</job>
</package>
Note:
1. Please change ADMINISTRATOR to the administrator account on the machine
2. Please change PASSWORD to the password of the administrator account
3. Please change a.bat to the file name of your batch file
You may copy above script to a text file and save as *.wsf file in the same
folder with the batch file. After run the script, any user can restart the
computer.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
