RunAsSet

[HockeyFan]

Help!!

I'm running a script that uses the RunAsSet command to us Administrative rights while running the script, but when when it is launched when a non-admin user is logged in, the called application fails. If I'm logged in as the administrator, it works perfectly.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Thanks. :">

Is this an Windows XP SP2 system?

if so see open bugs.

[HockeyFan]

When the script is run, it's Windows XP SP1.

Where can I find "Open Bugs"?

Here's my code...

RunAsSet("Homer", @Computername, "**********")
If FileExists("C:\Software\ePOAgent") Then
    FileMove("C:\Windows\Temp\XPSP2\FramePkg.exe", "C:\Software\ePOAgent\FramePkg.exe", 1)
Else
    DirCreate("C:\Software\ePOAgent")
    FileMove("C:\Windows\Temp\XPSP2\FramePkg.exe", "C:\Software\ePOAgent\FramePkg.exe", 1)
EndIf
;Check to see if Agent has already been installed. If so, uninstall and reinstall to verify proper connectivity.
$result = FileExists("C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe")
If $result = 0 Then;0=failure, does not exist.
;If file does not exist, install FramePkg.exe (without embeded Homer credentials...plain FramePkg.exe from ePO server).
    SplashTextOn("McAfee ePolicy Agent", "" & @CR & "Installing McAfee ePO Agent software." & @CR & "" & @CR & "Please wait...", 400, 125, -1, -1, 0, "", 14, 400)
    Sleep(3000)
    SplashOff()
    Run("C:\Software\ePOAgent\FramePkg.exe /install=agent", "C:\Software\ePOAgent", @SW_SHOW)
    WinWait("McAfee Agent and Updater Setup", "Setup completed successfully.")
    ControlClick ("McAfee Agent and Updater Setup", "Setup completed successfully.", 2, "Left", 1)
    RunWait("C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\cmdagent.exe /p /e /c", "C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework", @SW_SHOW)
Else;If Agent is already installed.
    SplashTextOn("McAfee ePolicy Agent", "" & @CR & "Uninstalling McAfee software FrameServices (ePO Agent)." & @CR & "" & @CR & "Please wait...", 500, 125, -1, -1, 0, "", 14, 400)
    Sleep(3000)
    SplashOff()
    Run("C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe /ForceUninstall", "C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework", @SW_SHOW)

EndIf

When I run this when logged in as a poweruser, the Mcafee installs fail. They succeed when I run when logged in as Admin.

Thanks for you Help.

You are not really clear about what is failing or what the errors are you get.

Could it be that he Power user id not allowed to Move the file?

RunAsSet() only changes the credentials for the programs shelled by Run() & RunWait()

If that is the case you can have the script start itself first to make the whole script run under the admin credentials... something like:

AutoItSetOption("RunErrorsFatal", 0) 
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) 
Break(0)
$USERNAME = "Administrator"
$PASSWORD = "Secret"
$RUN = 0      ; run indicator 
; retrieve the cycle from commandline
If $CMDLINE[0] = 1 Then $RUN = $CMDLINE[1]
If $RUN = 0 Then
   RunAsSet($USERNAME, @ComputerName, $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

ill look at it when i get home... but how far does it get before it fails...

wat error msg do you get?

also,.. make sure to put the runasset() command at the end to log the admin out

aslo try using the optional flag at the end of the runasset command... try all of the different flags

I personally like my workaround for starting a script with admin more that the command line one, but Jdebs is more "correct"

mine solution

$UserName = "username"

$Password = "password"

$fulldomainname = "Domain"

If ClipGet() <> "tr1gg3r" Then

run( "net use h: \\gc\" & @UserName )

ClipPut( "tr1gg3r")

RunAsSet($UserName, $FullDomainName, $Password, 2)

Run( Prog here you want to run as admin , "", @SW_HIDE)

Exit

EndIf

; Admin Priviledged code here

Runasset()

Clipput( "not tr1gg3r" )

JdeB,

Thanks for the info.

Since I'm new to this scripting stuff, would you be so kind as to explain what the $CMDLINE[0] command is all about? If you don't have the time, then could you recommend somewhere where I could read up on this? I'm so confused!!

I appreciate your help.

$CMDLINE[0] will contain the number of commandline parameters defined on the commandline. $CMDLINE[1] will contain the first parameters ...etc Edited July 15, 2005 by JdeB
