Usually, you can show admin privileges by adding a new administrator
user to the machine, only admin can do that.
You can do that without any external files, using the "net" command. The
net command can also be useful to show admin priv., for example to
start/stop services, manage shares, etc.

Erez.

Subject: Windows Administrator access

After gaining shell access to a Windows box, is there any way to show
administrator privilege without changing the config or uploading new
files?

I have to demo the ability to gain administrator access to a Win 2000
box, the catch is no changes on the box so adding a user or loading
whoami.exe from resource kit would not be options. Any suggestion here
would be appreciated.

Thanks
