on it own?



I realize the implications of using runas. However, at this time that's what I'm going to use until I have time to figure out another way to do it. I appreciate your warning.

As far as your comment above, the runas is part of the encrypted KiXcrypt exe. What happens exactly when the KiXcrypt exe runs is this verbatim (obviously without real domain\username):

crypt version 003.02b
KiXcrypt author: Richard Howarth (rhowarth@sgb.co.uk)
0Enter password for domain\username:
Attempting to start "net localgroup administrators domain\username /add" as user "domain\username"...

So, I see it that the KiXcrypt exe is echoing the runas command to the console screen. Now, if I use the wkix32.exe /i command for the consoleless version of KiXcrypt, the script does not perform like it should. I get the same result when using kcgen.kix with the web interface to create a consoleless version. The runas command does not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

BTW, what is it that you are referring to as a more secure way of doing this? Is it SU?

Thanks again.
