RunAs not working with file on a network share

[kokomodrums]

Pretty simple issue. v3.3.8.1

I set up a script to run a few of our office programs as an admin. All of the locally installed programs (on the C drive) worked flawlessly, however running the exact script but on a program on our network (S drive) gives me an error. Here is the script:

Local $sUserName = "admin"
Local $sPassword = "***"

RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 1, "S:\test.bat", @SystemDir)

If @error = 1 Then
MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Something went wrong, but I'm not sure why...")
EndIf

I've tried every option for the logon flag and the working directory. Does the RunAs function just not work on network shares?

Does this Local PC Admin account have access to this network drive?

Yes, full access

I tried looking up a way to get an actual error message, but it was a bit above my head. Is there a simple way to display an actual description of what goes wrong from autoit?

Then try using the UNC link to the networkshare because it is unlikely that drive S: is known under the elevated credentials.

Well, I had already tried the unc path to no avail, but I just tried it again and for some reason it's working now. I must have mis-typed the path. I'm still not sure why it wouldn't work using the mapped drive, as I didnt have that problem using autohotkey to do the same task.

Thanks!
