    Hi - I have this VBScript that, I tried on few systems to help the users to disable Wireless when docked on Lenovo Docking Stations and enabled when undocked from docking stations.

    The script is working fine but one problem - the script has to be run as admin and users do not have the permission. I would like to make some modification to the script that can help to run the script as regular domain users. I would appreciate, if any one can take a look at the script and help me what modification needs to be done.

    Here is the script: If you want the script for download - I can upload to a file share site. Let me know.

    @ The Dev - Sorry, I did not see your post for this long.

    I will try your addition to the script. I believe above should be added to the top of the script before it starts the process - right?
