    I created a VBscript to change the default gateway using the SetGateways
    Method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration.
    It works fine in my Windows XP PCs.
    If I use the same script in Vista (Vista Business) it works fine only if I
    logon as user "Administrator" (after enabling it).
    If I log on as any other user, even member of all the administrative user
    groups, I get an error 67.
    How can I make my script work in Vista?
    Regards
    Marius

    Run with elevated permissions.
    Open Command Prompt with "Run As Administrator".
    Execute your script from elevated Command Prompt.

    Just to clarify: the Administrator Accounts are not the Administrator
    Account (thank you, Microsoft!).

    They are accounts with *some* Administrator privileges.

    The choice of names is very misleading, IMHO.
