Command looks like this: runas /noprofile /savecred /env /user:machinename\username executablename Works fine when in a workgroup or when joined to a domain and a DC is available. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Christopher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Runas - local account when joined to domain Are we talking XP or Vista here? What method are you using to do the Run as?

Try that and see if it works. On May 12, 2009 12:53 PM, "Andy Ognenoff" <[email protected]> wrote: My google-fu is failing me today and this issue has never come up before for me. 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/> ~ ~ 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/> ~
