#76955 - 2003-10-01 02:45 PM Why dos RUNAS not work with in .kix
ulro ulro Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-25 Posts: 9 Loc: Denmark	Hi I’ve bin reading all the instructions in topic "Runas like SU... Scripted without console!!!" and tried different things.... So now I’m trying to start a simple RUNAS command from a .kix First I did at test of the RUNAS from cmd: - Runas /env /user:nt\administrator cmd - entered the password and it worked fine! then I’ve made this .kix: $USER = "administrator" $PASSWORD = "due2keho" run 'runas /env /user:nt\$USER cmd' sendkeys("$PASSWORD{ENTER}") I’m starting the .kix with this .cmd: @echo off REM echo run MM6_11_d.exe \\CWTCPH06\multimark\KIX_install\kix32.exe \\CWTCPH06\multimark\KIX_install\test.kix and now I’m getting this error: Enter the password for nt\administrator: Attempting to start cmd as user "nt\administrator" ... 0Press any key to continue . . . RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd 267: The directory name is invalid. any ideas??

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	do you have trouble copying ready code? I just REMOVED your CMD and you insisted to add it back in? what you should do is lookup at the faq what comspec is. there is also documentation on MS site. it gives you the full path to command prompt, no matter what machine. that's why I replaced your "cmd" as it said: quote: 267: The directory name is invalid [ 01.

The RUNAS is a poor solution to your problem and the FAQ does provide easy-to-implement secure solutions. In your case, I'd say you should run an admin script that pushes out the installation. I do this all the time and it's just a couple of lines of code. Prototype: code: $comps=netview2() for each $comp in $comps $rc=scheduletask($comp) next [ 02.

Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	code: CD 'C:\' ;Run From Local Drive Shell '%COMSPEC% /c RunAs.exe /user:Administrator "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe" \| %%KIXCRYPTDIR%%\sanur.exe {Password}' Works for me, drop "\| %KIXCRYPTDIR%\sanur.exe {Password}" if you want it to prompt for password. If you are going to use RunAs, use sanur.exe to push the password to RunAs, SendKeys is so unrealiable. Looking at your code, You have a Server with a domain called "NT" ?? [ 02.

Will recieve a Username and Password incorrect or Access Denied Error.
