gcue Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 i am trying to run this command in windows 7 (runs computer management for a remote PC) RUN("mmc compmgmt.msc -s /computer:\\" & $asset) nothing happens even if i specify the working directory OR specify the path to mmc and/or compmgmt i got it to work this way but seems to work slower $cmd = "mmc compmgmt.msc -s /computer:\\" & $asset Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd, @WindowsDir & "\system32", @SW_HIDE) any of you come across this or have any ideas?

gcue Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) forgot to mention that the first method works in XP but not in Win7 RUN("mmc compmgmt.msc /computer:" & $asset) Edited December 6, 2011 by gcue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFX Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Run will not show you an uac promt, nor it will accept auto elevation, it will failed to launch an application that needs admin rights. Use shellexecute or run your script elevated. Edited December 6, 2011 by JFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Use RunAs 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.

JFX Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 how does your Shellexecute line looks. try: $asset = '' ShellExecute('mmc', 'compmgmt.msc /computer:\\' & $asset) or add #RequireAdmin on top of your script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaFu Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Use runas... the verb... $asset = '' ShellExecute('mmc', 'compmgmt.msc /computer:' & $asset,'','runas') Edited December 6, 2011 by KaFu OS: Win10-22H2 - 64bit - German, AutoIt Version: 3.3.16.1, AutoIt Editor: SciTE, Website: https://funk.eu AMT - Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer (2022-Nov-26) BIC - Batch-Image-Cropper (2023-Apr-01) COP - Color Picker (2009-May-21) DCS - Dynamic Cursor Selector (2024-Feb-16) HMW - Hide my Windows (2018-Sep-16) HRC - HotKey Resolution Changer (2012-May-16) ICU - Icon Configuration Utility (2018-Sep-16) SMF - Search my Files (2023-Jun-03) - THE file info and duplicates search tool SSD - Set Sound Device (2017-Sep-16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
