Windows 2003 Adding printerport and printer

Dear,

I have registered the prnadm.dll file and used the objects to create a
printer TCP/IP port and printer on a windows 2003 server.

Problem is that the user doesn't have sufficient privileges to execute
the objects whoam create the TCP/IP port and printer on the server.

So I am looking for a way to set specific credentials when creating the
object in vbs.

set oPort = CreateObject("Port.Port.1")
set oMaster = CreateObject("PrintMaster.PrintMaster.1")
oMaster.PortAdd oPort ...

How can I have the above created objects set with specific credentials
so it works with an account with enough priviliges.

Kind Regards, Silent-One

It is possible to do something like this, but, AFAIK, not from VBScript.
VBScript doesn't have the ability to create objects using an alternate
principle.

At least not without using a custom written component to act as a proxy...
