quick question...

i'm trying to write a batch file that launches on a user
logon (basic security permissions).
the batch file executes software that must be run under an
administrative account. i've tried to
use the dos command (under Win2k) runas , however i
can't pass a password through the command without
entering it manually. this defeats the purpose of
launching the batch file from a network push when a user
logs on.
anyone have any ideas?
 
You are correct that you cannot pass a password to runas. You can pass one
to sc.exe though. That is available in the W2K Resource Kit.

Usage
Pipe your normal Runas commandline into Sanur and specify the
password on Sanur's commandline or use the /i switch to have Sanur
read the password from a file:-

RUNAS <options> | SANUR password
RUNAS <options> | SANUR /i [drive:][path]filename

I think this should be

Indeed it should! :-) My bad typo.

However, psexec is available outside the pstools package and
occasionally it is updated. No need for the re-download of the whole
package just to get the new psexec.
