Using RunAs with arguments and variables

[PowerCat]

I'm trying to get this command working properly but to no avail!

Run(@ComSpec & " /c dsquery computer -name " & @ComputerName & " | dsmod computer -desc " & GuiCtrlRead($compdesc) & "")

As for this command, I can get the command to go as far as getting the computer name, but the part where it reads $compdesc still won't run.

The argument passed to dsmod needs to include quotation marks but I'm having a hard time putting enough quotation marks and apostrophes to get it running.

I was able to get enough quotation marks to change the computer description to "GuiCtrlRead($compdesc)" but that's not helpful!

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks!

Try displaying it in a MsgBox(), you should then be able to see what the error is.

MsgBox(0, "", @ComSpec & " /c dsquery computer -name " & @ComputerName & " | dsmod computer -desc " & GuiCtrlRead($compdesc) & "")
