set admin2 to “admin2”

and get the error sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

How can I get a osx dsconfigad command to run with veritable

There’s various bits missing in your post, so maybe I’ve got it wrong.

2nd line of your script:

In an AppleScript use ‘administrator privileges’ alone.

That said, I’ve never heard of ‘dsconfigad’, so I do not know whether it can be run in this way.
