Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks,

I have scripts that install applications (simply mapping onto the installs server and selecting the required application and running the associated script, this script will ensure a silent installation). This is not problem, however some applications needs to be installed under specific user context, i.e. the user that will be using that particular application.

My question is; will I be able to install those apps that require user context for successful installation, If I only have those users Domain logon IDs?

They way I am currently Installing those apps is by starting a remote win32 processes that runs those scripts with an aid of a Perl script (ActiveState 5.8.4).

Any help is much appreciated.

    What is a user context?

    Depends on what a user context is, and if you can determine it using the users Domain logon ID.
