    I don't believe what you are asking is possible in the way you want it.

    We just went to Active Directory and indeed there are ways to give folder permissions from the admin tools on the DC (not as part of a script) and even permissions for users to modify certain registry keys. Exactly how you do this...? I don't know. We're focused on other things at the moment and luckily we don't have but 30 or so PCs we had to go back and modify rights on manually for design software (CATIA, MasterCam, etc).

    Cool.

    I am pretty sure it's impossible with a script anyway. You can't do anything from a script that a client doesn't have permission for.
