Hello monks. I'm currently creating a web based tool via CGI/html but am having real problems when trying to run remote DOS commands on the web server, via the web page. Its when running things like net.exe, sc.exe etc commands that I can't figure out how to run them. I'm guessing its because I'm trying to run them as 'nobody' but I can run a 'whoami' command remotely and its showing as the account that I'm logged onto my desktop with. I'm guessing there might be a way of adding this account into a group on the web server but I can't find which group will give me sufficient access to run the commands. HELP! PS - I need to figure out how to do this or it'll mean me learning how to do it all via .ASP and IIS - I'd rather use perl!
