Bluesmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi, there are dozend of threads to this I know, but I still dont get it since they are somehow contradictiv. RunAs( @UserName ,@ComputerName, "myPass" , 0 ,@ComSpec, "" ,@SW_SHOW) This does not start a cmd with adminrights for me - Win8 x64 - logged in as admin If I use #requireAdmin it works even without "RunAs". But I got the damn password, and this should allow me to skip the uac -prompts and what is the purpose of "RunAs" if not that? I cannot automate if UAC is prompted I read the script cannot pass Access Tokens that it doesnt own ( #requireAdmin ). But again: What then is the purpose of "RunAs"? I know I can use shellexecute with the 'runAs' parameter but this leads to a UAC promt also. So final Question: Can I use my password to start any program elevated in autoit yes or no? thank you very much Blues My UDF: [topic='156155']_shellExecuteHidden[/topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 From what I've read, you can't elevate a process past the level that the current user has in Win Vista+. In other words you can't run as an administrator a process started from a lower security level. RunAs is intended to be used to run a process under another user's credentials, in XP I believe it was possible to run it as an administrator even though the current user wasn't an admin, which is one of the many reasons that XP was such a vast security hole. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756922.aspx If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Bluesmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) But as I wrote: I am logged in as admin!? Edited January 14, 2014 by Bluesmaster My UDF: [topic='156155']_shellExecuteHidden[/topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Oh I just discovered, that it seems not to be enough that your account has admin-rights but one really has to use the "administrator" account. To have an aditional account with admin rights only preserves you from entering the password when elevating a programm. but elevating a program by using your accounts password seems not to be possible in auto it. Is that correct now? Blues My UDF: [topic='156155']_shellExecuteHidden[/topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yes. Now i'm getting something out of this discussion, it's quite hard to automate the input of password in windows7 box. #RequireAdmin RunAsWait( @UserName ,@ComputerName,"myP@ssword", 0 ,@ComSpec & ' /k md test') but still the UAC prompts for password and once i type the correct password it creates a test folder inside c:windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Quite Annoying the same script doesn't work in Windows XP SP3 :-( Might it be because MS is going to stop XP in April ? :-) #RequireAdmin RunAsWait( @UserName ,@ComputerName,"myP@ssword", 0 ,@ComSpec & ' /k md test') It just doesn't throw any errors. the output windows says-- >"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "E:\AutoIT\lastone.au3" /UserParams +>07:01:32 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.1.4.0 SciTE v.3.3.7.0 ; Keyboard:00000409 OS:WIN_XP/Service Pack 3 CPU:X64 OS:X86 Environment(Language:0409 Keyboard:00000409 OS:WIN_XP/Service Pack 3 CPU:X64 OS:X86) >Running AU3Check (3.3.10.2) from:C:\Program Files\AutoIt3 +>07:01:32 AU3Check ended.rc:0 >Running:(3.3.10.2):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "E:\AutoIT\lastone.au3" --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop +>07:01:36 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0 >Exit code: 0 Time: 4.327 This might be the issue with my another thread.

lexicon Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just came to notice that if i use #RequireAdmin in windows XP it won't work. in windows7 a UAC will prompt if i input the password in UAC it executes well. Does anybody have issues using #RequireAdmin in Windows XP ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
