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 PS: Vista 64b, build 5728 |

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" -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
