ThinList Blog: [THIN] Re: XA 4.5 ICA permissions windows 2003

Hi Doug,

I tested it again today and it worked like a charm. Maybe there were some odd characters copied from the e-mail, so I’ve posted it here : http://www.jhouseconsulting.com/downloads/ModifyListenerPerms.txt

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Thank you for taking another stab at it.

Unfortuantely I am getting the same results except that it fails.

Now I get

line 84

char 8

error Invalid operation

code 80041016

Source SWbemObjectEx

Line 84 is this:

intQuery = itm.modifypermissions(0,True)

I end up with the account added but just guest permissions.

Sorry Doug. It was an extract from a working script, so was missing some bits and pieces. I have now tested the subroutine and got it working nicely for you. All you need to do is set the strDomain and strGroup variables, and away it goes. Just comment out the permissions that you don’t want to add.

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Option Explicit

Dim blnDomainAccount, strDomain, wshnetwork, strGroup

blnDomainAccount = True

If blnDomainAccount Then

strDomain = "MYDOMAIN"

Else

Set wshnetwork = WScript.CreateObject("wscript.network")

strDomain = wshnetwork.ComputerName

Set wshnetwork = Nothing

End If

strGroup = "MyGroup"

Call ListenerPerms("ICA-TCP",strDomain,strGroup)

wscript.quit(0)

Sub ListenerPerms(strListener,strDomain,strGroup)

Dim strComputer, objWMIService, colitems, i, errResult, objitem, itm, intQuery

Dim intLogoff, intShadow, intLogon, intMsg, intConnect, intDisconnect, intSet

Dim intVirtual, intReset

Const GUEST_ACCESS = 0

strDomain = ucase(strDomain)

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

set colitems = objwmiservice.execquery("select * from win32_tspermissionssetting where terminalname='" & strListener & "'")

' Add the account and give it Guest access by default.

for each i in colitems

errResult = i.addaccount(strDomain & "\" & strGroup,GUEST_ACCESS)

' Add the required permissions to the account.

set objitem = objwmiservice.execquery("select * from win32_tsaccount where AccountName ='" & strDomain & "\\" & strGroup & "'")

for each itm in objitem

intQuery = itm.modifypermissions(0,True)

' intSet = itm.modifypermissions(1,True)

intLogoff = itm.modifypermissions(2,True)

' intVirtual = itm.modifypermissions(3,True)

intShadow = itm.modifypermissions(4,True)

intLogon = itm.modifypermissions(5,True)

' intReset = itm.modifypermissions(6,True)

intMsg = itm.modifypermissions(7,True)

intConnect = itm.modifypermissions(8,True)

intDisconnect = itm.modifypermissions(9,True)

Set objWMIService = Nothing

set colitems = Nothing

set objitem = Nothing

End Sub

Thanks for the script. I am having a bit of a problem with it and was hoping you could help.

When I run it it adds the group I identified to the listener but only give it guest rights with logon. Not of the other settings get set. (Query, Logoff....)

Yep, me too.

With TSConSec the Reset does not show in the GUI. However, if it's not set, then the Logoff permission will not be selected. This can be quite frustrating to work out, so be careful.

But you can also use the win32_tspermissionssetting WMI Class…

Here is an extract from one of my scripts…

-------start of script-------

Call ListenerPerms("ICA-TCP","Shadowers")

wscript.quit(0)

Sub ListenerPerms(strListener,strGroup)

Dim wshnetwork, strComputer, objWMIService, colitems, i, errResult, objitem, itm, intQuery, intLogoff, intShadow, intLogon, intMsg, intConnect, intDisconnect

Set wshnetwork = WScript.CreateObject("wscript.network")

strComputer = wshnetwork.ComputerName

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

set colitems = objwmiservice.execquery("select * from win32_tspermissionssetting where terminalname='" & strListener & "'")

for each i in colitems

errResult = i.addaccount(lcase(strGroup),0)

' Note that we must use the actual computer name and not a "."

set objitem = objwmiservice.execquery("select * from win32_tsaccount where AccountName ='" & strComputer & "\\" & strGroup & "'")

for each itm in objitem

intQuery = itm.modifypermissions(0,True)

intLogoff = itm.modifypermissions(2,True)

intShadow = itm.modifypermissions(4,True)

intLogon = itm.modifypermissions(5,True)

intMsg = itm.modifypermissions(7,True)

intConnect = itm.modifypermissions(8,True)

intDisconnect = itm.modifypermissions(9,True)

Set wshnetwork = Nothing

Set objWMIService = Nothing

set colitems = Nothing

set objitem = Nothing

end sub

-------end of script-------

This runs in my build scripts, but you can run it afterwards using PSEXEC. It will also probably work as a Startup script too.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Jeremy.

I’ve always scripted this as part of the unattended install using tsconsec.exe – I think because the values are stored in a binary key rather than being permission on a registry setting

e.g. run tsconsec command on the server as part of the build:

TSConSec.exe /t:ica /a:Helpdesk /p:RS /q

Would set the helpdesk group to be able to reset and shadow on ica sessions.

If you wanted to do a farm download psexec and run a for command

Create a list of your servers – put that in servers.txt

for /f "skip=3" %i in (servers.txt) do psexec \\% tsconsec.exe /t:ICA /a:YourGroup /p:Flags /Q

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to set the sercurity permissions on the ICA-TCP listener with policy (ms gp or citrix).

At this point we have to set it on each server manually and wondering if it can be done otherwise?

We do now have GP Preferences.
