Run as

03-30-2007, 03:02 PM

at the command line it is "runas" all one word. i.e.
runas /user:domainname\account name "program name". It will then prompt you
for the password

Or type runas by itself for more info and examples.

Can you paste exactly what you are typing and also the exact error message.
Note: the program name needs to be the actual executable (not a link) and
either in your environment path or the path needs to be entered (quotes are
needed I beleive if the path contians spaces). I just tried it on sharepoint
and it worked fine.

This I type in runas /user:dmnadmin "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe"
it does prompt for password I enter it and then it gives me

A window that states The RUNAS command is not support

the only choice I have is click ok

our sharepoint administrator page is lock down that only domain admins
acccounts are only to accdess to it that why I need to run as domain admin
and not local admin

Issue appears to be specific to Internet Explorer. Does not appear to be
much documentation on this.

An IE icon on the desktop has no option to run as administrator, however the
one in the task bar does. Try that. As I said before though, you must have
it prompt for credentials instead of just confirmation.

run gpedit.msc

goto Computer Configuration-->Windows settings-->Security Settings-->Local
Policies-->Security Options-->User Account Control:Behaviour of elevation
prompt for Administrators. Change to Prompt for credentials.

Then either run gpupdate from the command prompt or restart your system.

It should then ask for username and password when prompted instead of just
confirmation.
