Retrieve pwd of Administrator and give it as input?

[jsknight1969]

Reading the password from the Local User Group screen will not help because that is not the password, just a representation....it's not necessarily even the correct length. If the Network Admin feels comfortable with you having the Admin password, then ask for it and use it in your script otherwise my recommendation would be to have your Network Admin create a username/password just for your script with Administrative priviledges if you need it.

Probably not much help, but I hope it gets you started on a solution.
