Err, no, not quite, you see, you didn't acctualy specify your motives in THIS thread. I hadn't read the others, and I don't really care either, if you don't explain your reasons for wanting this info then you better expect to be told to **** off.
yes, i'm sorry about that Noia, i might have been overreacting, but i just had a bad day yesterday, had the flue with fever and all, so sorry for my reaction, please just ignore it!

Have you attempted to spawn the process from another application that is allowed, for instance the web browser?
yes, but even the browser is restricted, for instance, when i type c:\ in the browser i get the message that this is not allowed due to restrictions...

Also, what version of antivirus software are you using? Any way to exploit the update feature to spawn a system process?
perhaps, were using trendmicro's officescan, and although i did some research about this program, i haven't found anything usefull yet...

What about running Windows Update (system privelages), then spawning a command prompt from the address bar using IE's explorer integration? (Of course, file system restriction may prevent this.)
not possible, all done automatically, we can't even select "no" when the automatic updates are installed and the pop-up box askes you if you want to reboot your computer.

Can you select "New Task" from the task manager?
No, cannot even open the taskmgr...

does the local admin account autologon when the PC is booted into safe mode? Could a user use this to root the PC by adding a local account with admin access that has the same name as their domain logon?
haven't tried that yet, but i'm sure it doesn't autologon.. but i'll give it a try tomorrow!

lepricaun, actually i looked over your posts before i tried to help (although ive been none). but unfortunatly...as far as i can tell right now, if a computer is completly current with its patches and the command prompt is disabled along with command prompt script processing theres no way (that ive found so far) to escuate privilages in order to remove these restrictions because they all require a command prompt of one form or another.
i tried everything i can think of but if a machine is fully patched theres no vuln with which to attack from the outside and create a shell with system privilages. i made a shortcut and started netcat detatched and and set it to run a morphed version of cmd on connect. i could connect to it but when it went to open a command shell i got "the administrator has disabled the command prompt"....on netcat!!...thats allot of nerve
so now we know that a program can run detached as long as it doesn't try to open a shell. im going to try making a pl script to do "something" and compile it with perl2exe to run without a console. maybe that will work.
i've tried running netcat too to get a shell by using"nc 127.0.0.1 1500" and that also gave me a shell, but the only command i can execute is "exit" all others are restricted!
and i think my administrators are doing their job really well, but that just makes it more interesting to help them..
( and for my knowledge of course, since i'm planning on getting a job as system administrator too!)
i've tried adjusting the cmd.exe , taskmgr.exe and regedit.exe to look at another location of the registry to see if they are disabled, perhaps this will help?! i know it tomorrow, and i'll let you guys know!
