runasset()

I remeber reading on the forums a while a go a code that would run itself in admin mode... cant find it now tho and I hoping someone else remembers it

i know i could do a file install to a temp and run a 5 or so line scrpt to run that exe as a admin but isnt there a way to do this with only 1 prog... not 2 autoIT things pieced together

The PsExec can do it.

I appreciate that you took the time to reply, no one else seemed to remeber... either thatr or I didnt explain myself clearly.

what I meant was something like this:

If ClipGet() <> "tr1gg3r" then
    ClipPut( "tr1gg3r" )
    RunAsSet( $username , $FullDomainName, $Password)
    Run ( $ServPath & "start.exe" )
    Exit
EndIf

That you can put at the beginning of a script and it will restart itself with certain user privileges...

I couldnt ever find where it was on the forums and Im not sure if this is the same way as I saw it but it works just fine and dandy...

Hm.. maybe something like this ?

err ... that looks like it... it'll take me a bit to figure out how it does what it does

My way is simpler but your wa looks like a more "correct" solution to it

Thanks a bunch for posting it

It is really easy.

* run: tool.exe ==> start without RunAsSet

* run: tool.exe /ra ==> restart with RunAsSet. Runs: tool.exe /ra2 ; we need /ra2 to determine if the script was started with RunAsSet, as I don't know another way to determine this.

Basically that's it.

We could also change the script, to restart it with RunAsSet if there was no command line parameter at all. Then it would look like this...

global $username = "YOUR NAME HERE"; <<=== change THIS !!
global $domainname = @Computername; <<=== change THIS !!
global $password = "YOUR PASSWORD HERE"; <<=== change THIS !!
global $started_with_runas = 0

;******************************************************
;** Check commandline params
;******************************************************
if $CmdLine[0] > 0 then
   for $n = 1 to $cmdline[0] step 1
       select
          case $cmdline[$n] = "/ra"
             $started_with_runas = 1
        endselect
   next
else
;******************************************************
;** If script was started without params restart it with
;** RUnAsSet
;******************************************************
   RunAsSet( $username , $domainname, $password)
   Run(@ScriptDir & "\" & @ScriptName & " /ra", @WorkingDir)
   exit
endif


;******************************************************
;** Exit if script was not started with /ra
;******************************************************
if $started_with_runas = 0 then
   exit
endif

try this code. This isn't my code. Got this from somewhere in the forum. Seems that I can't find it anymore.

AutoItSetOption("RunErrorsFatal", 0)

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

Break(0)

$USERNAME = "username"

$PASSWORD = "password"

$RUN = 0 ; run indicator

; retrieve the cycle from commandline

If $CMDLINE[0] = 1 Then $RUN = $CMDLINE[1]

If $RUN = 0 Then

RunAsSet($USERNAME, "your domain", $PASSWORD)

Run('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" " 1"')

If @error Then MsgBox(4096+32,"Error", "Error starting under admin mode")

Exit

EndIf

; commands go here that require Administrator rights
