Add user as admin then switch to user

[digibuddha]

Hey Guys,

Trying to figure out a way to elevate the users rights then run the rest of the script as the user not the user that elevated the rights. Make Sense?

Code so far:

RunAsSet("username", "domain", "password", 0)

If IsAdmin() = 0 Then

runwait("net localgroup Administrators " & @UserName & " /Add")

EndIf

Once you add the user to the admin group on the machine do this:

RunAsSet("USERNAME", @ComputerName, "PASSWORD")
If @Compiled Then
    Run('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')
    Exit
EndIf

The alternative would be to use RunAsSet with no parameters after adding @username to the Administrators group. Using your original code:

If IsAdmin() = 0 Then
   RunAsSet("username", "domain", "password", 0)
   runwait("net localgroup Administrators " & @UserName & " /Add")
   RunAsSet()
EndIf

This should do the trick, but often a Logoff/Logon is required to activate this setting. You could also try a forced restart of Explorer but that could also give other issues.

If IsAdmin() = 0 Then
    RunAsSet("username", "domain", "password", 0)
    RunWait("net localgroup Administrators " & @UserName & " /Add")
    RunAsSet()
EndIf

Ok cool thanks guys. I'll give it a shot and let you know. I had actually given the last one a thought, but wasn't sure if that would do it.

Yep that worked, working code:

If IsAdmin() = 0 Then
    RunAsSet("username", "domain", "password", 0)
    RunWait("net localgroup Administrators " & @UserName & " /Add")
    RunAsSet()
EndIf

Thank you all!
