RunAS Help

[netjunkie247]

There is an application located on every workstation in our domain... currently the exe to update the app is on the local workstations as well... meaning that either the admin must manually login to all boxes to run the update for the app - use psexec and connect to all the boxes -- or give higher rights to the local users...

all of these seem to be bad options =o)

SO... the idea is to have a RunAS command to temp use domain admin creds' and install any updates... then reset the creds' and exit the process...

I'm also considering compiling this into an .exe and use it in our login script to fully automate the process from the users...

Below is the current code I have--

----------------------------------------------------------

Dim $UserName, $Domain, $Password, $RunProgram, $RunPath

$UserName = "USERACCOUNT"

$Password = "PASSWORD"

$Domain = "DOMAIN"

RunAsSet ( $UserName, $Domain, $Password )

$RunProgram = "update.exe"

$RunPath = "C:\program files\etc..."

RunWait($RunProgram, $RunPath)

; Finished!

----------------------------------------------------------

- If anyone has some direction on this... any help is greatly appreciated!

make $RunProgram contain the Path as wel:

$RunProgram = "C:\program files\etc...\update.exe"

thanks for the response... I did as you said-- the 'go' feature to test the code before compiling responded the following:

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\bancpac-update.au3" /autoit3dir "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3" /UserParams

+>14:17:07 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.1.7.6

>Running:(3.2.2.0):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\bancpac-update.au3"

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\bancpac-update.au3 (30) : ==> Unable to execute the external program.:

RunWait($RunProgram, $RunPath)

The parameter is incorrect.

+>14:17:07 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0

+>14:17:08 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished

-thanks for your help with this...

would be helpfull when you post the code portion with the error ...

[netjunkie247]

sorry... code was pretty much same as before...

I was able to get it working just fine-- no errors-- compiled the .exe and tested-- works great! thanks for the help!

Also, if i added:

RunAsSet () --- toward the 'end' of the script... does it reset the permissions back to the standard user profile that is logged in after the update.exe part of the script runs??

Only the shelled application will have the RunAsSet() credentials, not the script itself.
