Has anyone figured out a way to disable or enable the NIC card in Windows 7 without Admin rights? This script works great but only with admin rights which our users don't have. You can add a standard user to the Network Configuration Operators group and then they can actually go through the windows GUI and enable or disable the NIC's manually. This script still does not work. I have also tried the decon utility and its the same thing access denied. Anyone know a way?

How do we do this in Windows 7 without requiring anything of a standard user? We have an application for automating network connection from remote sites for approximately 55,000 users which uses the Shell32 COM in Windows XP, but that is not going to work in Windows 7. We are wanting to remove the need to be an administrator, or run it under the credentials of a local admin user other than the one who is logged in at the time it runs.

How can I do this in Windows 7 64-bit? If I need to run this as a standard user, which requires an administrator password?!

Thanks guys. I have a friend with Advent laptop that reconnects to the wireless when restarted with warm boot, but is disabled when powering on. She has to manualy start it using the function keys, which she is not happy with, as it worked fine before being "repaired" under guarantee. I can now wre a script to help her.
