HTA and Alternate Credentials

Post by hitec92407 »

I don't mean this to be a "cross post" but I was directed to post this here :0

I have an HTA that does things like add/remove AD users to groups.

I need this to run with alternate credential using a service account with appropriate permissions to modify the AD accounts/groups. The HTA also performs operations that use vbscript run method to execute powershell commands. I want to code use of the service account into the HTA so it is hidden from the user.

I also want to compile this into an exe.

I'm considering buying primalscript.

1. Can primal script do all of this?

2. What type of project would I specify for an HTA?

thanks.

1. Yes.
2. Go to Script - Script Packager - Open Script Package
in that dialog you can select "MSHTA" as the engine type
and add your HTA file to the package.
As for alternate credentials, on the security tab you can specify
"Impersonate" or "Run As User". Which one is best for you very much depends
on your environment.
