Run As

Here are the work arounds I have found so far:

1. Change group policy so that it prompts for credentials instead of just
prompting for consent under UAC. After selecting "Run as
administrator"-->Enter the domain admin user name and password at this point.
If you are joined to a domain this account should be a member of the local
admins so it should not be a problem.

2. Use the runas command line.

Windows help says that "You can also use the Run as administrator command to
run a program as another user, even if the user does not have an
administrative account by selecting the account after clicking on Run as
administrator" I have not been able to have any success with this.
 
I in a domain admin but it as big deal since I need to run as domain admin to
have administrator rights on sharepoint... I tryed in the command line and it
gives an error run as is not support


Please help I need to runas domain admin


Thanks

at the command line it is "runas" all one word. i.e.
runas /user:domainname\account name "program name". It will then prompt you
for the password

Or type runas by itself for more info and examples.
 
That is excatllky what I did and it gives me the errorrun as is not support
it does it after I enter the password
 
Can you paste exactly what you are typing and also the exact error message.
Note: the program name needs to be the actual executable (not a link) and
either in your environment path or the path needs to be entered (quotes are
needed I beleive if the path contians spaces). I just tried it on sharepoint
and it worked fine.
 
This I type in runas /user:dmnadmin "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe"
it does prompt for password I enter it and then it gives me

A window that states The RUNAS command is not support

the only choice I have is click ok


our sharepoint administrator page is lock down that only domain admins
acccounts are only to accdess to it that why I need to run as domain admin
and not local admin
 
Issue appears to be specific to Internet Explorer. Does not appear to be
much documentation on this.
 
An IE icon on the desktop has no option to run as administrator, however the
one in the task bar does. Try that. As I said before though, you must have
it prompt for credentials instead of just confirmation.
 
run gpedit.msc

goto Computer Configuration-->Windows settings-->Security Settings-->Local
Policies-->Security Options-->User Account Control:Behaviour of elevation
prompt for Administrators. Change to Prompt for credentials.

Then either run gpupdate from the command prompt or restart your system.

It should then ask for username and password when prompted instead of just
confirmation.
