Run-as from a batch file

[ahmedramzi]

is it possible to add a "RUN-AS" command to a script in order to install a software on a client computer?

I've tried, but it prompts for a password!

because of security reasons you cant. You can use sanur to pass password (in plaintext) to runas command or (better solution) use AutoIt and create small script... Once I created tool to create one-purpose exe files, that will launch specified command with higher privileges, I will try to find it for you.

It will cost some $$, but you might want to consider TcqRunAs from Quimeras.

Here's the link.

if you use the /savecred switch, you will only have to enter the password once. windows will remember the password if you use runas in the future. this works only under win xp as far as i know.
