How to run a script as XP current user and not as NetworkService ?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I want to schedule an Autoit exe file launch.

So I used the "at" dos command line to execute my program :

c:\> at  16:13   /interactive /next:    28   D:\myfile.exe

But the problem is that myfile.exe is launched with the SYSTEM (NetworkService) user context.

Thus loosing my Firefox and Thunderbird profiles.

I searched on this forum and tried the RunAsSet command, without success.

Do you know how to :

  • either set the user environnement (Unix-like "su -") to my current logged-in username ?
  • or either easily schedule myfile.exe ?
Thanks a lot for your help !

What about using the Scheduled Tasks wizard? Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks.

A few screens in you'll get a prompt for user/login name, if you want to specify one.

It's not as handy as the command line, but it works.

use the system environnement variables to get the current username

then pass the credentials with runas
