Run as

Hi all,
I try to do a "run as" with a specific account(my domain administrator
account), I need to do it often to open specifics applications(like AD, SQL
....).
But I just see "run as administrator", is it possible to change to "run as"
and choose a specific account ?

Thanks,
Pascal

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no longer a "run as" command available from the
shortcut menu. However, you can accomplish what you want from the command
prompt.

- Open a command prompt
- Type: runas /user:USERNAME "command line"
- Press enter

Where USERNAME is the username you wish to run as, and "command line" is the
program you wish to start.

For example:

runas /user:jimmy "notepad"

Unfortunately, I doubt it

Is there a way to change the run as to use domain admin instead of local admin

Here are the work arounds I have found so far:

1. Change group policy so that it prompts for credentials instead of just
prompting for consent under UAC. After selecting "Run as
administrator"-->Enter the domain admin user name and password at this point.
If you are joined to a domain this account should be a member of the local
admins so it should not be a problem.

2. Use the runas command line.

Windows help says that "You can also use the Run as administrator command to
run a program as another user, even if the user does not have an
administrative account by selecting the account after clicking on Run as
administrator" I have not been able to have any success with this.
