Hi,
We have need to run server based .vbs files and other OS commands through
active server pages i.e...
Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("c:\somecmd.bat",,True)
Under Windows 2000 the EVERYONE group had read/execute rights against
cmd.exe. Under 2003 this has been removed and in order to get my .asp file
to execute the cmd shell I must grant the IUSR acct read/execute access to
cmd.exe on the web server.
Is there a better approach or "best practice" to properly secure my web
server and still be able to shell out to cmd.exe from asp?
Thanks for any insights!!!
