damon Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I am having problems getting a script to run with admin rights. I have 3 different passwords due to different computers not receiving network updates/pushes to have admin password updated to one consistant. Everytime I run the script it does nothing and exits, so i put in some msgbox's to find out what is going on, and the return with "0" on all three. I have Windows SP3 on the computer and have read in other post that people are thinking that it is causing problems, I am not even able to get one run much less the 32 that they get before it quits working. I have changed the user name and passwords for this forum due to security reasons, any help would be appreciated. If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then If $CmdLine[1] = "/UpdateOffice" Then UpdateOffice() Exit EndIf Local $user = "admin" Local $pass = "password" Local $pass2 = "password2" Local $pass3 = "password3" If IsAdmin () = 0 Then $run1 = RunAs ( $user, @ComputerName, $pass, 0,@ScriptFullPath & " /UpdateOffice") MsgBox (0,"",$run1) If $run1 = 0 Then $run2 = RunAs( $user, @ComputerName, $pass2, 0,@ScriptFullPath & " /UpdateOffice") MsgBox (0,"",$run2) If $run2 = 0 Then $run3 = RunAs ( $user, @ComputerName, $pass3, 0,@ScriptFullPath & " /UpdateOffice") MsgBox (0,"",$run3) If $run3 = 0 Then MsgBox (0,"",$run3) Exit EndIf EndIf EndIf EndIf UpdateOffice() UpdateOffice is calling the function with a gui that I built. I can attach it if I need but I seen the above being the problem. thanks, Damon It always amazes me how one little thing can cause so much havoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry, I did forget to mention that this is Windows XP. I tried #RequireAdmin but that prompted a box to come up and ask me to login as admin.

damon Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 yes I do Compile it, I test on a separate computer from what I code on that does not have autoit installed on it. I have to due to the fact I need to make sure I am logged on as a user. I have used this in many other scripts in the past with no problems but for some reason it is not running or coming back with a PID, I have changed/checked the admin password to make sure it is the same as my variable in my code, Visually looking, do you see anything wrong with my code? This will give me a baseline of trouble shooting possibilities. It always amazes me how one little thing can cause so much havoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I can't get that script to run as is on Windows 7 or XP. I did get it to work with my domain credentials, but not with local administrator credentials. I added a few message boxes before I compiled it to see where in the script it was. 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.

damon Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have tried both network and local(desktop) with same results. I will try it with my ad credentials and see what happens - did not think of doing that.
