I have some software that only functions right if the person has administrative permissions on the machine. I don't want to give my users the admin passwords so they can do a Run As for obvious reasons. Hi,Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.Open a CMD prompt and typerunas /?then hit the key. What you are looking for is the use of the runascommand in combination with its /user and /savecred switches.
Windows XP: Run Explorer as Administrator. To make this work, login into an Administrator account (say IAmRoot account), open Windows Explorer, choose Tools → Folder Options and enable the option Launch folder windows in a separate process. You should be able to launch Windows Explorer with Administrator privileges (of the IAmRoot account) from a non-admin account after this using Run as. XP's implementation of the RunAs command lets you execute a program under the context of another user. However, if you attempt to use RunAs on a.
You create ashortcut to the application you want to run with admin credentials, but theshortcut invokes the application through runas instead of directly.The first time you launch the software in the end user's account using thatshortcut you will be prompted for a password. You supply the password thatone time. From then on the shortcut uses the stored credentials you gave it.Best RegardsMagon Liuin forum.

Be aware that even if you know the location of the saved password, it doesn't mean that you can move it from one computer to another.many applications store the passwords in a way that prevent you from moving them to another computer or user profile. Mostly invisible to users.For example, for Windows Network Passwords, it is:Windows ProfileAppDataRoamingMicrosoftCredentialsRandom ID and Windows ProfileAppDataLocalMicrosoftCredentialsRandom IDRegards,Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

I know how to use that command in the 'run' window (via the windows key and letter 'r'). I also understand how to make a new shortcut. But I am confused as how to createa shortcut with your 'runas' solution.
Where exactly in the shortcut properties are you supposed to place the /user and /savecred switches? Will this solution work for my issue with the system.exe file ( DPIScaling.exe ) problem? Here is the linkto my problem: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasecurity/thread1ec55fab-6374-44a5-905d-70668c6a457f. Ok I figured out where to input the command.
I am using Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate I used this link: the 'Type the location of the item' I used the line:runas /savecred /user:ComputerNameUserName%windir% system32DpiScaling.exeI then copied the shortcut to the standard user's desktop. When I switched over to that standard users account and logged in and double clicked the shortcut, I got prompted for my pwd via a command window. I then typed it in and nothing happened after that.I then edited a new shortcut to show as:runas /savecred /user:ComputerNameUserName c:windowssystem32DpiScaling.exethen when I logged in as the standard user again and double clicked the new shortcut, a cmd window flashed on the screen for like a half a second, and disappeared. Then nothing happened.
I then right clicked, run as administrator, input my password, thenthe cmd prompt for my password came up, as if the right click runas enabled me to see the actual runas command window invoked by the command in the shortcut. After inputting my password, nothing happened again. What exactly is going on?
Why are the credentialsnot being saved? I just want to allow a standard user to open the DpiScaling.exe settings window under an admin's credentials automatically. I am running into a similar problem with QuickBooks. I have users logging in to a Terminal Server and using QuickBooks. QuickBooks needs to have administrative right to run all functions of the program correctly.
Theory of a deadman free download. Mp3take is file search engine and does not host music files, no media files are indexed hosted cached or stored on our server, They are located on third party sites that are not obligated in anyway with our site, Mp3take is not responsible for third party website content.
I can't give admin rightsto all users over the entire server so I am following this forum and trying this Runas command. I used what you did above and it seems to be working. What I noticed is that you left the quotes out of the Program it is opening.
Your code shouldlook like this.runas /savecred /user:ComputerNameUserName 'c:windowssystem32DpiScaling.exe'Once you have the shortcut created, you will need to run the shortcut from the users profile and enter the admin password. From there the user should always be opening with admin rights and not be asked for a password.One problem I noticed at least with QuickBooks is that when I try and save something from the program it defaults to the administrator profile for things such as My Documents and Desktop.Hope this will help you out if you already haven't solved the problem.Though I myself have not tried this.it may also do the trick. That's a brilliant program you've pointed to ClarityIT! Thank you so much:)I've searched long and hard for something equivalent to the Lin.ces sudo command, but have been (very) disappointed that the MS flagship Win7/Ultimate just couldn't do it properly. It's such a common requirement for users to need elevated permission temporarily.runasSpc allows just that, and creates a strong tie between username, password and binary to be executed. It also has control over profile loading for correct directories etcThanks again, I wish the guy who wrote it had a forum so I could thank him.
