Runasset

[PerryRaptor 1]

I'm pretty sure the answer is right under my nose, but I just can't see it.

$DomainUserName = "MyNetwork\TheBoss"

$UserPassword = "1234567890"

RunAsSet("DomainUserName", @computername, "UserPassword")

RunWait(..........)

The RunWait line fails, telling me that username and/or password is bad. I'm looking for a way to use my Domain Group credentials in lieu of the remote computer's local admin account to run programs. Is this forbidden? Can I not use the "\" in the detail?

Any Ideas Welcome.

You mean $DomainUserName, not the string literal "DomainUserName", I believe.

Yes, you are correct...It is late for me and not at work right now. I'm wondering if the"\" in the construct is being implemented as a math divide command. I don't have a Win2K - XP setup at home to work through this. I was hoping to hit some folks who have found the solution.

RunAsSet($DomainUserName, @computername, $UserPassword)

Think you also need to split up the domain and username like:

$DomainUserName = "TheBoss"

$DomainName = "MyNetwork"

$UserPassword = "1234567890"

RunAsSet($DomainUserName, $DomainName, $UserPassword)

Looking with a fresh mind I discovered that the RunAsSet() options are specific.

RunAsSet($AccountName, $AuthenticateWith, $Password)

$AuthenticateWith can be a local account or a network account. A network account can be a member of the network administrator group.

Using a network group administrator account it in this manner, At user loggon the script runs. But only during the loggon and cannot be ran manually.
