Run Script as SYSTEM

[Ozi]

Hi, how would I run my script as User Name SYSTEM? I don't think RunAsSet will work because

I already tried. Help would be appreciated.

RunAsSet should work. Post some code.

Thanks, but my code is over 1200 lines long. RunAsSet command, doesn't it require a password? Because

I don't know the password to the SYSTEM User...

Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)
$UserName ="Administrator"
$password ="ssssssss"
$Computername = @Computername
RunAsSet($UserName, $Computername, $password)
if Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) = 0 then MsgBox(4096, "Test", "UserName==> " & $UserName & " or  password==> " & $password & " Failure", 10)

I don't know the password to the SYSTEM User...

So let me get this straight...you are trying to run your script as the user "System"...which is probably the administrator of that machine...Since you dont have the rights, you are trying to hack in some way to run your script?...

my code is over 1200 lines long

Just curious, what is the purpose of this long script?

If I was going to write a virus, why would it be 1200 lines long? Think about it.

wolf: Thanks sooo much. Really helped.

Although it's probably been done sometime before if we searched the forums, here are some technical resources for running things as the system account-

Didn't say you were writing a virus Ozi. I simply wanted to know what was the purpose of your script.

Thanks a bunch! The msdn site had just what I need. I tried it and can run any process as SYSTEM.

Thanks soo much.
