Hello,
the username
System is correct because the opsi-winst runs in the
System-context.
There are some switches to winst sections that begin with
/AllNTUser. You should have a look at them in the
winst manual.
Otherwise we would need some more information on how the section looks and how it is called.
With kind regards
Niko

Hello again,

Code: Alles auswählen
Set $local_user$ = GetRegistryStringValue("[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] AppData")
and with
Code: Alles auswählen
Set $local_user$ = GetRegistryStringValue("[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI] LastLoggedOnSAMUser")
and with
Code: Alles auswählen
Set $local_user$ = GetRegistryStringValue("[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI] LastLoggedOnUser")
But it comes always empty....
The programm that i am triying to in stall needs to go in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming. How can i know the name of the logged user? I cant install it for all users.....
Please help me...
Best regards

Hello,
the easiest way is probably to do this with the
User Profile Management extension because then you can use i.e.
GetLoggedInUser.
Also what I am thinking of is to use an opsi service call like
hostControlSafe_getActiveSessions to see who is logged on.
But I am not specialist for opsiscript so there may be an easier way to do this.
Also I recommend a
support contract.
With kind regards

Hi again,
i am using the evaluation of the User Profile Management extension. And if i set $User$ = GetLoggedInUser i get the right user. But all the varibles %AppDataDir%, etc etc are not set correctly. The installer that i am using generates a token based on this variables.
Is there any command to run the installer as the loggedinUser with admin rights?
Maybe winbatch /RunAsLoggedInUser or something like that?
Best regards

Hi,
running with the user-profile-management extension in profile mode %AppdataDir% should be correct for the logged in user.
What did you get ?
Maybe winbatch /RunAsLoggedInUser or something like that?
This will start the process in the context of the logged in user (while in profile mode) .

just a fyi, since d.oertel's suggestion (user-profile-management) is probably better, but it is possible to run programs as the logged on user, even if you start the original process as SYSTEM
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg21506033
https://github.com/MicksMix/RunAsLou/bl ... nAsLOU.exe (didn't test this one myself)
both allow you to run programs/scripts as the logged on user, provided the original process starts as SYSTEM
for instance if the logged on user is JoeSchmoe : running
RunAsCurrentUser-2.0.3.1.exe notepad as SYSTEM will start notepad.exe as JoeShmoe
this isn't much use for normal opsi operation, since most opsi actions run at system boot, before any user (except SYSTEM) is logged on.
