am12348 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello to all, In the organization I'm working with, there are users, that don't have administrator's permissions. I was asked to write a batch that displays the task manager in any workstation. The command for displaying the task manager is relatively simple: taskmgr If the batch runs under an administrator user, the task manager is displayed. However if I try to run it under a non administrator user, a message concerning to permissions is displayed. My question is , if there is a way to impersonate the command in the batch, namely running the command as an administrator?Thank you in advance, Amos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need that the batch will be runautomatically without intervention. Namely I'mlooking for a way to store the administrator's password in the command/batch.Thank you,Amos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 you can pass the password to the RunAs exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphlpt Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Andre, I can't find any working example that shows passing the administrator password with the batch. I only found posts by folks that say they can't get it to work. Can you elaborate or provide a link? Thanks in advance.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Use /savecred to save the password, so you only have to enter it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
