RonM RonM Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-11 Posts: 16	I have a command here that works form a command line perfectly but i cant get kixtart to run it. it gives me the runas options help when it runs. RUN "runas /u:sssnt\username \\avalanche\fx\fx\msjavx86.exe \| SANUR password Sanur is a little util to pass the password to the runas command. any ideas?

Why not put the admin passwords up on the corporate bulletin board instead? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

I believe this may be a better utility to use then the RUNAS since it has better password handling.

RonM RonM Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-11 Posts: 16	appreciate the answer. that worked nicely. also, right now i need something quick and dirty to use as we are in a bind. 145 machines to attend to and only 2 it staff. job needs to be completed by friday. I will look at the cpau util though. thanks. btw i intend to only have these people run this script for maybe and hour before disabling the account used.

Any method that somehow exposes a plain text password is inheritantly insecure. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Check out the UDF mirrors or here on Korg for UDF to remotely achieve this task.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Hi Shawn, could you take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to get this command working correctly... RUN "runas /user:domain\support \\mainfileserver\setuprmt.exe \| sanur password" Thank you.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	To get the pipe \| to work, need to use %comspec% like this: shell '%comspec% /c runas /noprofile /user:administrator <cmd> \| sanur.exe <passwd>' Or something along that lines, can't actually test it right now. -Shawn
