ClayB Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I am new to AutoIt and I am sorry if this question has already been addressed elsewhere but I couldn't find it. What I am trying to do is to create a script that will run a cmd prompt with elevated privileges. First off, I am a domain admin and domain admins are administrators on the test machine. I have tried runas and that hasn't worked for me (might simply be a syntax problem, not sure). Would you mind posting some snippets with how you deal with this issue? BTW, the test machine is Win 7 x64 Enterprise. Eventually this will be deployed using SCCM so I need the script to elevate the privileges on it's own and, eventually, silently. Thanks Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayB Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 By the lack of response I can deduce one of two things either (1) this gets asked all the time and nobody wants to respond or (2) there is no way in the programs current state to do this. Would someone mind cluing me in so I can either look harder or quit looking all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If you're already running in the Domain Admin's security context, you don't need additional perms. Don't SSCM tasks run (or can be configured to run) in that context? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Don't SSCM tasks run (or can be configured to run) in that context?I was trying to get the script to run without adding the complexity of SCCM but, now that you mention it, SCCM may be the way to go. I will reimage the computer and try it out. Out of curiosity, is there a way to code the permissions into the script?EditOh and I was getting permission errors when running it. I will double check permissions on the image when it finishes it's imaging. Edited July 26, 2010 by ClayB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayB Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) The error I am getting is Error: 0xC004F025 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges. When I right click and "run as administrator" I don't get the error. So I need the script to run as administrator. **Edit** Never mind, looks like #RequireAdmin fixed it.
