Error 673 WntPrivAdd

 Error 673 WntPrivAdd 

---

Question:

I am receiving the error '673: Error Adding Account rights' using the following code on my NT 4.0 machine.

ver=wntversion()
privList_results=wntPrivList( '', 'domain\user')

message('privList results', PrivList_results)
result=wntPrivAdd('', 'domain\user', 'SeShutdownPrivilege')
result=wntPrivAdd('', 'domain\user', 'SeServiceLogonRight' )

"NCsecMan" is the username I am trying to give the rights to.

1. I am running Winbatch 2001
2. The Win32 network extender version is 32001
3. I am running it while sitting at WinNT 4.0 SP6 logged on as "administrator"
4. The WWWBATCH.INI shows: Error 5 (LSAaddAccountRights)
5. I can successfully give this right using the windows "User Manager" GUI.
6. I tried adding another right "SeShutdownPrivilege".
7. I tried to logout and logon again as administrator.
8. I tried using 'domain\user' to be more specific on the user name.

Final evidence - IT seemed as though we could add a right as long as there was at least one existing priviledge.

Answer:

Let's make sure you are using the version of the NT extender that does in fact have the wntPrivAdd()enhancements implemented.

I tested this function on a NT 4 machine, with the latest 33002 version of the 'Win32 network extender' and it ran flawlessly. I think all you need to do is get the latest version from our website....

Reply:

Yes, the newer version 33002 was able to set the priviledge!

Another 673 Error Question

Question:

I'm getting the 673 error when running a compiled script using the wntPrivAdd function, e.g.,

result=wntPrivAdd("","domain/username","SeServiceLogonRight")

I'm using 2000C Winbatch and Extender 11017.

Resolution:

I just found a fix/workaround.

The original code looked like this. tmpsvcacct is a valid domain\user variable

        wntPrivAdd("", tmpsvcacct, "SeServiceLogonRight")

work around is to specify PDC name. this seems to have worked

        pdc = wntGetDc( "", "", 1)
        wntPrivAdd(pdc, tmpsvcacct, "SeServiceLogonRight")
