to the best of my knowledge, Run as will be set the same as any other property for a file...and will maintain that setting. Now, weather or not it is inherent to which user sets it (meaning, if bob2 is logged on and sets the run as, will it maintain that association for jim3) I dunno.
hope that makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: Barr, Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 12:23 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Problems with trying to set up an application to "RUN AS" in XP Yes, I'm trying to use the RUN AS command in Windows XP, by simply right clicking on that applications executable and choosing RUN AS. I'm not quite sure why you are saying that RUN AS info will not survive a logoff or reboot? I didn't know this and can't seem to find where it says that it won't survive a logoff or reboot, especially when that is what I believed it was specifically developed for. See members of the Local Admin group can install / run any software even legacy apps. Members of the Power Users can install any certified application and can run most applications but not all legacy applications. Which this specific application is, and from what everyone has lead me to believe that you can (by using the Run As) option in XP set that specific legacy app to run as that machines local administrator user, yet still be able to log into that machine using their general User account and launch that legacy app with the admin account. SOMEBODY PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG??? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew S.

Are you able to use RUNAS successfully? RUNAS info will not survive a logoff or reboot, if that's what you're trying to do. You might want to look at alternate approaches for that, such as Firedaemon. http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=MyService.TXT ASB Technology Integration Specialist http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Barr, Christopher Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 1:11 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Problems with trying to set up an application to "RUN AS" in XP Hello all, I know it may be a bit off Topic, but I figured I'd give it a shot... I am running WinXP pro, and as the local administrator, I log in... Then I Browse through Program Files...etc.. Eventually browsing to the executable in the application I am trying to get to launch. I follow M$ directions for HOW TO: Use the RUN AS Command to Start a Program as an Administrator in Windows XP (kb #305780). I made sure the Secondary logon service is running, I then Right Clicking on the Applications module and choose Run As.. Click on the bullet for: The Following User, give it that machines Admin user name and password and click OK. Then just to check / verify the settings I right click on it again and choose Run As.. It automatically goes back to: Current user(machine_name)\Administrator) along with the check mark next to Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity. Now I've tried this every which way, even unselecting the Protect my computer and data from unauthorized activity and every time I exit it changes right back to Current User and Protect my computer. Now, First off this program runs a USB device and that USB device hasn't been XP certified, however the program functions beautifully if run using an administrator account. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is with this not saving the Run As, UserName & Pass. However even if I log out / restart and when I log in using either a user from either the Local Users or Local Power Users group the service still is running under the current user? My main goal is to get this Device / Application to be launched with the "Run As"... Administrator account. I do understand that the Power Users group may not be able to run Legacy Applications, and that the Administrator group is the main group that will run the legacy applications (which apparently this must be / unless it's driver related?). This application is not a service, which would have been nice so I could set it to auto-start with a specific account. Has anybody else battled with this.... Suggestions, Comments would be greatly appreciated.
