Hello everyone!

Is it possible for an Administrator to give permission to a Restricted User
on a laptop to have access to TCP/IP Configuration? It's surely impossible
with what I know about Windows but I preffer to ask in case someone has a
trick or 2...

We have 2 locations where we're using Windows, but with different range of
IP address and a Restricted User is using his laptop at the 2 locations. His
laptop is configured with the IP address from where the user is likely to be
most of the time. But once in a week, that user is going at the other place
and want to use his laptop to access the Internet. But the laptop does not
have a valid IP address for that subnet so I must change his TCP/IP
configuration everytime. Since he's not admin, he can't change it by himself.
I wanted to use a script for him to execute when he's at the office and
change it's IP address automatically, but he cannot do that since he does not
have the rights to change the TCP/IP settings...

Is it possible to have a "file".bat to be execute with "admin rights" by a
user that is Rrestricted? I know it can be done using Shift+Click, but can it
be done automatically when a user wants to execute it, without the admin
intervention?

Thanks!

Martin

Is there a reason why you can't use DHCP?
If you don't want to go DHCP for a whole site, you could set up just
a small DHCP pool for mobile users only.

Thanks for the idea. I was so stuck up on my actual problem that I didn't
think about an easier way! Thanks again!

P.S. But still, I'd like to know if the scenario below can work...
