RunAs / RunAsWait problem on server 2012R2 [SOLVED]

[Earthshine]

RunAsWait(@UserName, @ComputerName, "!PASS!", 0, "C:\Program Files (x86)\UserService\Admin.exe")

Try that. You need to supply the Username, either yours or theirs, that will give you whomever is logged on.

i ran this as a test, my password on vm is Hello1, lol, you don't need extra '' around the path to exe.

RunAsWait(@UserName, @ComputerName, "Hello1", 0, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe")

I should have remembered to update this thread, when I found the solution - but I didn't.

The solution was to edit the Group Policy for admin users, default it's set to Enabled

Local Computer Policy -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> User Account Control: Run All administrators in Admin Approval Mode |-> Disabled

Changing the above, made my script work as it did in server 2008 (apparently I had changed the above in 2k8 also)

 

I haven't checked if it works in win10, course I don't have win10 installed.

you just downgraded your security too. I guess, if you are ok with that.

Instead of disabling UAC for the whole system, you could just disable it for Admins to allow run your script.  

Local Computer Policy -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode |-> Elevate without prompting.

or just use RunAsWait and provide credentials, and run it as GPO. did you even try that? it worked for a different user here yesterday uninstalling an application.

I also saw the same problem with windows 10
