I tried both .\username and machinename\username neither worked. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Christopher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Runas - local account when joined to domain
I believe your problem is that it assumes any account is a domain account unless you specify it as a local account, such as u...@mymachine or mymachine\user. Try that and see if it works.

I've got a couple applications that we have regular users run (non-admin) that require elevated privileges so we use runas with another local user account that has perms just for the stuff it needs and then we cache those credentials. Since moving to Active Directory, none of the runas commands work if a DC can't be found (mobile users) even though the runas command is using a local account. It says no logon servers are available. Any ideas on how to get around this? - Andy O. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
