runas command , run a windows command as administrator with parameters

[itye1970]

i need to run a program whilst a user is logged on who is not a local administartor.

I need to pass parameters to this program

EG : How can I run C:\Windows\System32\program.exe u  as local adminisatrator 

I need to compile the script as an .exe, note there are spaces in the above command also.

I have searched through help and looked at using cmdline but this doesnt work. If I run a program for example C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe with no arguments it runs fine but as soon as i want to pass argunments to the program it does not run

Many Thanks

Welcome to the Autoit Forums

Can you post your script so that we may have a look?

Example()

 

Func Example()

    ; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.

    Local $sUserName = "admin"

    Local $sPassword = "apassword"

 

 

 

   RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, $iPID,  "C:\Windows\System32\bitlockerwizardelev.exe u", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

 

    

    WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

 

    ; Wait for 2 seconds.

    Sleep(20000)

 

 

    ;ProcessClose($iPID)

EndFunc   ;==>Example

sorry is this one

Example()

 

Func Example()

    ; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.

    Local $sUserName = "admin"

    Local $sPassword = "anypassword"

 

    

    Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, "bitlockerwizard.elev u", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

 

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.

    WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

 

    ; Wait for 2 seconds.

    Sleep(2000)

 

    

    ProcessClose($iPID)

EndFunc   ;==>Example

[Jos]

try:

Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, 'bitlockerwizard.elev "\ u"', "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

[itye1970]

:-( still no luck. If i go to windows command prompt and type in C:\Windows\System32\bitlockerwizardelev.exe u , it works fine but still not working with autoit

Example()

 

Func Example()

    ; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.

    Local $sUserName = "123"

    Local $sPassword = "123"

 

    ; Run Notepad with the window maximized. Notepad is run under the user previously specified.

    ;Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, "calc.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, 'bitlockerwizard.elev " u"', "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.

    WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

 

    ; Wait for 2 seconds.

    Sleep(2000)

 

    ; Close the Notepad process using the PID returned by RunAs.

    ProcessClose($iPID)

EndFunc   ;==>Example

EDIT: Didn't see Jos' reply, this is the same thing

slow down, it seems you are throwing things at the problem, which will not help. Give a try to the script provided in my post #7 and tell us if it works or not

Why is the no space in this line in u and in your script you have a space?

Jos

This could be why your script is not working

[itye1970]

sorry its odd i know but it needs the space, the command from the windows prompt is

c:windowssystem32bitlockerwizardelev.exe u

Its the bitlocker reset password screen, for some reason microsoft decided to have a space in this command

the space needs to be there , otherwise it wont work.

Alright, so did you give the script provided in post #7 a try? If so, what were the results?

[Jos]

sorry its odd i know but it needs the space, the command from the windows prompt is

c:windowssystem32bitlockerwizardelev.exe u

Its the bitlocker reset password screen, for some reason microsoft decided to have a space in this command

the space needs to be there , otherwise it wont work.

Ok, then the next question: Why is the programname different in the script?

So you want:

Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, 'bitlockerwizardelev.exe "\ u"', "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

[itye1970]

i tried post 7 and nothing happens.

there was a typing mistake earlier the command does need a space

it should be 

bitlockerwizardelev.exe u

this is in the windowssystem32 directory

[MikahS]

Replace the line in your script with Jos' from post #13

[itye1970]

did that but nothing appears

Example()

 

Func Example()

    ; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.

    Local $sUserName = "username"

    Local $sPassword = "password"

 

 

    Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, 'bitlockerwizardelev.exe " u"', "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

 

    sleep(2000)

 

    ProcessClose($iPID)

EndFunc   ;==>Example

[Jos]

Try this so the CMD window stays open and remove the Processclose()

Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, @comspec & ' /k bitlockerwizardelev.exe "\ u"', "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

[itye1970]

 ok now it opens a command window with the cursor at C:\Windows\System32\  and nothing happens

[Muzaiyan]

did you try that

#RequireAdmin

direct from example

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#RequireAdmin

If IsAdmin() Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The script is running with admin rights.")

build .exe of your program and run your C:windowssystem32????? with u parameter or what ever.

[Muzaiyan]

try also

_RunDos()

direct from example:

#include <Process.au3>

Local $rc = _RunDos("start Http://www.autoitscript.com")

run your program on DOS prompt
