• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Always Run a program as (another user)

I always need to run a program as Admin of the Domain. I am running Active Directory from my desktop and instead of running it as myself- I have to right click it and then click Run As> The following user. I know there is a way around this- and have tried using something like this command in the shortcut- but it doesnt open (C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /noprofile /user:domain_nt\admin "C:\Program Files\Program\Analyze.exe")

Anyways, hope someone can help- Thanks!
 
You can't specify the password, which is probably your problem. Thats a security feature of Runas.

I got around this by writing a script that pipes the password to the command line. However -- do you REALLY want your domain admin password stored in plain text or open for anyone and everyone to use just by clicking on an file? Sounds like a HUGE security issue to me.
 
Well, no. but it would be so much easier to just type in the password (which is what that switch I put up there is suppose to do) when I click on the app- instead of right clicking the icon and choosing run as> then having to type in the username, domain and password. I would rather be able to click it- type in the password and be done with it.
 
Oh, here's what you do to fix that ---

1. Log into your workstation with your admin account, now log out.
2. Go to your shortcut and Right click on it, choose properties. On the shortcut tab, click Advanced and put a check in the box to run it with different credentials. This will make it so it always opens the credentials box, so no more right click, run as, or going to a dos prompt.
3. Double click your shortcut. You should get a dialog to pop up that asks for your username and password. Change it to the "the following user", and choose your admin account from the list box. It should be in the list box because you logged in with it and it's now a "user on the machine". Pop in your password and click ok, and you're good to go.
