runas command , run a windows command as administrator with parameters

[MikahS]

Muzaiyan the OP is trying to run this from a non-admin domain profile; essentially you cannot use that as you would not be able to run the script with:

#requireAdmin
IsAdmin

i get the message the script is running with admin rights but then it still just hangs on the command line C:\Windows\System32\ command prompt

[MikahS]

Did you try specifying the full path instead of just the program name with the cmd param?

[Jos]

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

What should it do? (Can't test this on my setup)

What happens when you type the commandline manually like this: bitlockerwizardelev.exe " u" in the opened window?

You could also try this format:

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

doesnt work nothing happens , it runs from command prompt manually  but not from autoit script. any more ideas or has this got you all thinking :-)

[MikahS]

Its hard to guess when we don't have all the information. Post the most recent script used inside autoit tags or using the code editor in the comment menu.

The question was what happens when you manually run the command from the window opened by the script?

Just want to get confirmation that works too when running under different credential.

Nothing happens 

[itye1970]

try also

_RunDos()

direct from example:

#include <Process.au3>

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

run your program on DOS prompt

your code works but when i replace it with Local $rc = _RunDos(""C:\Windows\System32\bitlockerwizardelev.exe u"")  nothing happens

[Jos]

Nothing happens 

If manually nothing happens then I am not sure what you expect from a script?

[itye1970]

i worked it out myself, basically created a cmd file with the parameters and called that cmd file instead from autoit, looks  like a bug in autoit not accepting parameters with a space

[MikahS]

I doubt it's a bug in Autoit, instead its more or less debugging that hasn't been done

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

this code works fine but you should try this one:

Local $Program = "bitlockerwizardelev.exe"

Local $parms = '\ U'
Local $sUserName = ""
Local $sPassword = ""

; try all flags one by one
Local $flags = 0
;~ $flags = 1
;~ $flags = 2
;~ $flags = 4
If Not FileExists(@SystemDir & "\" & $Program) Then MsgBox(16, "(File Not Found)", "Please Check The Existance of file.")
Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, $flags, @ComSpec & " /C " & $Program & " " & $parms, @SystemDir, @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(16, "ERROR: " & @error, "Process failed")
    If StringRight($Program, 4) <> ".exe" Then MsgBox(16, "", "Please make sure that file is an executable or use ShellExecute() function")
EndIf
