I want to be able to use the su.exe "run as" Command, to
enable my users to configure network settings. For
example su.exe control ncpa.cpl for a one time network
configurration. There is a bug that will not allow me to
use this command. Does anyone know if there is a hotfix
out that fixes this or if now will this be addressed soon
with the next service pack?
 
Why don't you use a standard command like runas
runas /user:"User Name" "control ncpa.cpl"

What bug? That KB doesn't refer to a bug? Do you know when someone as buggy as you will be fixed. Have you noticed all the items listed are shell folders not control panel appletts Duh.....
 
Under the status of the KB and when I called Microsoft
this is an acknowledged problem. I want to enable USERS
to configure Network settings my users are users, not
power users or admins. Try your suggestion logged in as a
user and see what happens. Pay attention to the details
in the post and test your solution before you post a
sarcastic response.

I like to know why? So while I think I can fix it - I want to know what caused it first.

Use a batch file - write it yourself but somethink like

taskkill /f /im explorer
start /wait runas etc
explorer.exe
