Encrypted Script

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Yes and No, mostly No.

Microsoft provides the script encoder which may be used
to obscure your script. However, it is not strong and is not
encryption, that is, the user with a little effort can get the
original back (this is actually a limitation of the script needing
to be "visible" in source form when run by the wsh host).

What is it that you are trying to accomplish by providing
the script to the non-admin user? And, is this in an Active
Directory environment?

There is acctually two Scripts I wanted.

One for a operator to run the printmig to make a backup
copy of the printers in the server, the problem is that
beeing a backup operator or power user he is not able to
do that.

The second script is to make a operator able to create
some shared folders on the network. I know that he can
make it beening a power user, but can I be more restrict
with him?

Thanks a lot.
