Runasset Problem

[emmanuel]

RunAsSet("administrator", @Computername, "smarta$$" )

I was wondering if the $ in the password could be causing the problem? that's not the real password, but that seems the only thing that could be wrong with it. I get a "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" error and the script dies.

edit: I tested the username and password on the target PC and they work, so that seems to leave the problem as something else?

I get a "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" errorWhen/Where do you get this error ? this is not an AutoIt error ...right ??

I get the error when attempting to run a file on the network, which the logged in user has access to, but the runasset user does not... is that the problem?

so, I should copy the file local before the runasset, then do the runas local admin bit...
