problem with RUNAS

[wking10]

Hi,

I am new to AutoIT script and been scratching my head around to get this simple script works.

What i want to do is to use RunAs to open a snap-in (.msc)

The following lines worked ok if i run some programs such as notepad.exe, eventvwr.exe, but as soon as i changed $RunProgram to run "console1.msc", or only "services.msc" it didn't work. What i hate was i have no idea how to track error/debug. nothing happened, no error whatsoever, but the program won't open.

i tried to call this .msc from a .bat, and then use AutoIT to execute the .bat, but the same nothing happened.

(the program i tried to run and the .au3 file are on the same folder)

I used Runas and RunAsWait, with all same result.

please help.

Dim $UserName, $DomainName, $Password, $RunProgram

$UserName = "xxxx"

$DomainName = "xxxx"

$Password = "xxxx"

$RunProgram = "test.bat"

RunAsWait($UserName,$DomainName,$Password,"",$RunProgram)

Try this

RunAsWait ($UserName,$DomainName,$Password, 0, $RunProgram )

I suggest you learn to read the documentation that comes with AutoIt. This has nothing to do with RunAs() at all.

You can't run an .msc file directly. Run MMC.exe instead with the full path to your .msc as a parameter in the commandline:

RunAsWait('UserName', @ComputerName, 'Password', 0, 'mmc.exe "' & @SystemDir & '\services.msc"')
