matthewst Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I am trying to open a command prompt as the local admininstrator. When I run the following script (script or exe) all I get is my regular command prompt. RunAsSet("Admin", @Computername, "password") Run("cmd.exe") If you open a command prompt and type "runas /user:admin cmd" you'll be prompted for your admin password, then a second box will open that is titled "cmd (running as compname\admin)". Everything else I put in the script works notepad.exe, regedit.exe just not cmd.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewst Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Not for me. I'm trying to avoid a sendkeys fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Works for me too.If I type in whoami at the command prompt (command should be available at least in XP Pro sp2), it reports the correct admin user I supplied for RunAsSet even though the title bar looks the same.

matthewst Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 it just opens a dos box (my profile, not the admin) i'm using xp sp2 no errors of any kind. It just sits there like i clicked "start", "run", typed "cmd" and hit enter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This should make you happy if you want the title changed: $username = "Administrator" RunAsSet($username, "", "password") Run('cmd /c start "cmd (running as ' & $username & ')" cmd.exe') Double check by running whoami Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

matthewst Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 You guys hit the nail on the head this time! I guess I was expecting autoit to be a bit clunky (like some other languages) Thanks everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
