Is there a way to add restricted SAM access via a script?

[Scott Lindstrom_2]

I need to add Restricted SAM access to a variety of users to a variety of servers, and would like to see if there is a way to write a script to do this (rather than logging on to each server and executing SAM there). Is there a command to do what sam -r does?

Not sure, but you could use one server to do the test to see what get's logged into the sam viewer log. If it of any benefit you create a script around what is in the log.

Hi Scott,

If your idea is to copy the same configuration for all the users across all the systems, setup one user with the required access using "sam -r".

Go to /etc/sam/custom and copy .cf file to /etc/sam/custom directory on the other servers. To make it work for another user, simply copy it as .cf file.

I looked at the same log, but unlike for other types of operations, there was no obvious command logged.

Setting up an average user, then copying and renaming that file as needed seems to work.

Thanks!
