Title: Run ".exe" as admin...assistance needed.
Post by: TheHoFL on May 14, 2009, 02:56:32 PM

Hello,

I have been attempting to run an application with administrative privileges for some time now. I have made a few BATs ans have been unsuccessful. I am looking for some assistance please.

Here are some details:
The local account or domain account only has "user" lever privileges. What i want to do is create a BAT file that will execute the application and run in with admin rights while logged in with the "user" account.

Can some one help please?

Thank you!

I did. If you do it that way, you would be prompted for the admin password. The problem is i can not give the users the local admin password. The local users are students at our college. They mess with too much stuff as it is already.  ;)

I guess i really am looking for a way to create a BAT that i could convert to EXE to run a file. It would need to include the admin password and would probably have to be put in the safe folder as the EXE that needs to be run.

I'm not sure about this at all, but I believe the batch file must be run as administrator too.

Devcom,

The link you provided worked like a charm. It took a few tries to get it going, but that was user error.  :-[

Anyway, thank you to all who posted!
