This GPE console is called Local Group Policy, using LGPO you can control system configuration without an active directory on Standalone computers.

In the Windows Operating system, you can find a version of Group Policy Editor. A Set of Group Policy configurations is known as Group Policy Object (GPO). Group Policy Editor controls the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts and it provides centralized management and configuration of Operating Systems, applications, and users settings in an Active Directory environment.

With winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'BCD00000000', 0, winreg.Group Policy Editor is a Windows feature that is included in all the versions of the Windows Operating system. I still get an access denied error with this:Ĭ(None, 'runas', sys.executable, 'module1.py', None, 1) If ():Ĭ(None, 'runas', sys.executable, 'module1.py', None, 1)I should have followed your whole code instead of trying to cut corners. This at least allows the script to run as admin: Hey! Progress! I guess running the script and then raising rights right away with no conditions causes a loop. Also, I tried running from an elevated command prompt and still get the access denied. I suppose I could put it in a different script and execute it, but I don't want to do it that way. But, let me say what I'm trying to do is run the script as admin from within itself. I haven't tried your latest suggestion yet, but I fear the same thing will happen. It can't be stopped except by logging the account off or rebooting.

The command window opens and closes very quickly and focus switches between open windows very quickly. Next I tried this:Ĭ(None, 'runas', sys.executable, sys.argv, None, 1)andĬ(None, 'runas', sys.executable, _file_, None, 1)The above two lines cause weird behavior. Here is what I've done (and I think you've maybe misunderstood a little what I'm trying to do):Ĭ(None, 'module1', sys.executable, _file_, None, 1)the line executes without an error, but doesn't solve the problem. I don't just try what is posted and then post back here right away I do expand on your suggestions. First gontajones, thanks for hanging in there with me.
