I cant get text to input on the command line

[jacobestepp]

I am Very new to Autoit and I'm trying to figure out how to input text in an administrator Level Command prompt on windows 10. this is what I currently have

Send ("#r")
WinWaitActive("Run")
    Send("runas /user:Administrator cmd")
        Send("{Enter}")
WinWait("C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe")    
    ControlClick("", "", "[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]")
    Send("test-Password")
    Send("{Enter}")

The issue I am having is I can not send the "test-password" to the command prompt.  I cried adding the ControlClick command to place the cursor in he CMD box, but its still not working. What am I doing wrong?

A program running at a lower security level can not interact with one with a higher security level. The script would have to be running with admin rights to be able to do this.

 

BTW, in AutoIt is the function RunAs and RunAsWait that does the same thing basically.

Okay, what I am trying to do is automate a computer setup sequence.  At certain times of the year, I can have more than 20 computers that need to be setup with several programs and one of the first steps I take is to open the command prompt as administrator and create an admin user account.  at this point, I am just using the Users account that is set up as an administrator.  so will this not fully work because I would have to change the user account in the "RunAs" section everytime?

Use a variable for the administrator's name and you can change it as needed.

Instead of trying to automate the command line, why not use AutoIT to create the account directly? Lots of good examples for re-use exist. You can make a script and use the RunAs function to launch it... (https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/RunAs.htm)

Thanks ModemJunki, I will look at that option.
