It actually doesn't work.... at.exe is a protected command.

However, the guy published his findings here: http://www.pandora-security.com/foru...pic.php?t=2093

I find it odd that he didn't include what version of XP he was using(read: service pack level)
Instead he makes this statement:

-[2.1] Getting SYSTEM

I will now walk you through the process of obtaining SYSTEM privileges.

To start, lets open up a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd > [ENTER]).

At the prompt, enter the following command, then press [ENTER]:

Code:
at


If it responds with an "access denied" error, then we are out of luck, and you'll have to try another method of privilege escalation; if it responds with "There are no entries in the list" (or sometimes with multiple entries already in the list) then we are good.
I find this explaination odd, as it truly doesn't make sense. Why would you get an access denied vs. access granted on a standard installation?

I just tested with a local user account and a domain account on a Windows XP SP2 laptop, no dice.

Hrmmm I will keep trying to gather info.
