Good Morning,

        I had a question regarding a perspective IE6 Deployment. I am trying
to deploy IE6 to over 200 End Users at different sites. The problem I am
having is that I created a login script through Group Policy Management,
which primarily calls RUNAS /user: domain\admin etc, etc to do the
Adminsitrative install of ie6setup.exe. When I created the Batch it
executed, but upon reboot and attempted completion of IE6 install it tells
me that the user has no administrative rights and cannot continue. First of
all I find the enter password for RUNAS to be a hinderance and the whole
RUNAS Command concept to be a nightmare in that scenario. I would like to
just do a clean install, silently in the background with user rights not
interfering. We do not have SMS or any deployment software to use in this
case. I was thinking about the possiblity of temporary rights to users for a
short amount of time, maybe an OU or group rights idea. I remember reading
about it in group policy, but I forget exactly how to configure that
approach. I created a Build using the IE6 Admin Kit has been tested
satisfactory on a stand alone workstation. I would appreciate it if someone
could steer me in the right direction. Thanks for your time.

Regards,

David Leonardi
