I'm using a cookbook vbscript that contains the line:

Set oSWB=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

It runs fine except on "generic" computers who don't have rights to edit the registry. Is there a way to elevate the rights within the script for those pcs, with or without hardcoding logins.

Or is there a way to give rights to edit the registry without giving access to the registry on WinXP?
