#46393 - 2003-10-07 01:21 PM Run program as administrator
andysk andysk Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-18 Posts: 14	Hi, Anybody know how to run a program as administrator (or other users) programmatically. I tried to apply auto antivirus update everytime users login. Some users gave us some example on how to apply auto update at Kix. But still i can't find an example on how to run an update exe file as administrator (since some files requires administrator priviledge). In Windows XP and 2000, they have the shortcut "Run as", so i think it must be a way to do it programmtically. Thanks

Runas seems the best option, but it require us to enter password manually.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	In the link I provided above, there are a number of ways to achieve this. Probably the simplest is to use a Task Scheduler to run this process under the appropriate context. Look for and at posts with regard to JT.EXE. Kent [ 08.

There you'll find that runas can be scripted... _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...
