Problem with RunAs() and Windows 22h2

[herby]

Hello,

since the Windows 22h2 update, my Autoit script using the RunAs() function as an administrator no longer works. It works fine on previous versions of Windows. Do you know if this update has changed a security rule that prevents Autoit from performing a RunAs() as an administrator? I haven't found any information about it.

I just checked it, with Local Account it works fine. You only need to enter the password and not the PIN

 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.
    Local $sUserName = "UserName"
    Local $sPassword = "password" ;* <- Password, not the Windows Hello PIN

    ; Run Notepad with the window maximized. Notepad is run under the user previously specified.
    Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, $RUN_LOGON_NOPROFILE, "notepad.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
    WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

    ; Wait for 2 seconds.
    Sleep(2000)

    ; Close the Notepad process using the PID returned by RunAs.
    ProcessClose($iPID)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thank you, but I forgot to mention that the AutoIt script is executed on computers within a domain, and the administrator account is local to the computers. With this configuration, it no longer works.

I can't modify password because i'm on domain account.

..add it to task scheduler ?, run it that way ?

Same result, cmd.exe open but not as administrator same for notepad++.

I haven't had this problem on versions other than 22H2.

Local $sTaskName = "MaTachePlanifieeTEST"
Local $sTaskCommand = RunAs("administrateur",@ComputerName,"*****",0, "cmd.exe")

; Enregistre la tâche planifiée
RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c schtasks.exe /create /tn "' & $sTaskName & '" /tr "' & $sTaskCommand & '" /sc minute /mo 1', "", @SW_HIDE)

If @error Then
    MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Erreur", "Erreur lors de la création de la tâche planifiée.")
Else
    MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION, "Succès", "La tâche planifiée a été créée avec succès.")
EndIf

...what I meant is to run with the credentials stored in TaskSched instead of the script.

I did not find how to do it, do you have a documentation?

The problem was Windows UAC

There is a windows 11 version with the same 22h2 moniker version and the OP never mentioned if it was 10 or 11?

#RequireAdmin

Why not?

Hi All,

 

This is Manoj. Anyone has a proper solution for this problem. I am in the situation when I run the script as RunAs with local admin creds the script is getting paused. I used #RequireAdmin , but it prompts for user to enter password. I am running in a windows domain environment , so I cant give the local admin password to use. I am running this AutoIT script using the GPO.

Any help would be much appreciated to get this problem sorted.

 

Regards
