ipgenie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm trying to allow users to access files on a server without authenticating. The RunAs command looks like it should work, but nothing ever opens up. I added a MsgBox to confirm that it wasn't getting stuck somehow and it runs fine, but does not open the shortcut. Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? ; Username, domain and password. $sUserName = "XXXXX" $sPassword = "XXXXX" $sDomain = "XXXXX.local" ; Run command RunAs($sUserName, $sDomain, $sPassword, 0, @ComSpec & " /c " & "\\server\utility\shortcut.lnk", "\\server\PMW220\App", @SW_HIDE) ; Confirmation test message. MsgBox(0, "Done", "Done.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydvdr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Run can only run executables, not links. Change it to point to the executable. #include <ByteMe.au3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipgenie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks sleepydvdr. I did try using a .exe with the same name in the same folder like this: RunAs($sUserName, $sDomain, $sPassword, 0, @ComSpec & " /c " & "\\server\utility\shortcut.exe", "\\server\PMW220\App", @SW_HIDE) This is a compiled script that opens the shortcut and it works, but doesn't open when I try to run it with RunAs.

sleepydvdr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've used a trick I have used before that makes accessing network shares easier: DriveMapAdd. Then change the location of the executable to the drive letter you mapped it to. If you don't want to keep it mapped all the time, you can un-map it when the program is closed. #include <ByteMe.au3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hopefully the username and password in your script isn't an admin password because that's going to present a security risk for the server you're accessing. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

ipgenie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Any domain user has access to that share so no admin needed. I have two domains and am slowly moving everything from the old to the new. I'll probably have to map a network drive in order for it to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
