Rooted.
Tears where shed and joy was had but at the end of the day, my AD knowledge and windows exploitation is vastly improved. Three days for the root lol, just about as I was going to go to bed as well.
Has this weird thing happen to me, idk if this was the case with anyone else but just incase you are struggling with that error mentioned on the cat: you have a literal 10 second window before your privesc breaks. Might of just been me. You can use scripts to help automate this so you are in time to get something out of the cat.
