DemonAngel Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am creating a script to install a program while logged in as a user. I know this is a question asked before but I seem to have a unique problem. Some background: We have 2 domains at my office, one NT4 domain and one XP active directory domain. I have Win2k laptops connected to the NT4 domain and XP laptops connected to the Active Directory domain. The local account on both Win2k and XP laptops can have 2 different admin passwords. Problem: I am using the runas command in order to try and find the correct Admin password on the pc however it only seems to work on XP. We also have a policy in place that prohibits cmd.exe to be run on the laptops. Does the runas command require cmd.exe and or is there another method I can do this? Any help would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbzfanatic Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think runas uses cmd.exe /c so that could be the problem. Try using ShellExecute(), it may not work but it's worth a shot.

DemonAngel Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I didnt add cmd.exe to the runas command. However, I am unsure how it runs in the background. Can I use ShellExecute to launch an installation as another user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
