Now, I could just login using the administrator account, create this new account, & then logon again as DATAUPLOAD.But where would be the winbatch fun in that?

What I'd like to be able to do is NOT have to log off "jsmith" & then log in as "Administrator" in order to create the "DATAUPLOAD" account. So I've been reading into the wntRunAsUser function & I can't get it to work.....yet.

I already have the code to create the "DATAUPLOAD" account. I just can't figure out how run as the "Administrator" account with the required rights/privileges that are needed to create the "DATAUPLOAD" account.

AddExtender("WWWNT34i.DLL")
curuser=wntGetUser(@DEFAULT)
Message("Current user:",curuser)
;run as new user
user="Administrator"
pswd="test"
ret = wntRunAsUser( "", user, pswd, 2, 0)
newuser=wntGetUser(@DEFAULT)
Message("Running as new user:",newuser)
f=wntUserExist("", "DATAUPLOAD")
if f == @false
wntUserAddDat("name", "DATAUPLOAD")
wntUserAddDat("password", "YIPPIE")
wntUserAddDat("comment", "This is a Windows 2000 Data Upload account")
wntUserAddDat("flags", 1+64+65536)
wntUserAddDat("acct_expires", "0000:00:00:00:00:00")
wntUserAdd("")
wntMemberSet("","Administrators","DATAUPLOAD",@LOCALGROUP)
endif
exit

When I run this I get:

WIL Extender error 637: Privilege 'Act as part of the operating system' not

ret = wntRunAsUser( "", user, pswd, 2, 0)
