question on WshShell.Runas

[Briandr]

Hi,

I want to run an existing vbscript using different user name and password.

WshShell.Runas "cmd.exe /c Net Localgroup " & Chr(34 ) & "Administrators" & Chr(34 ) & "abc\Test /add

If I got this right I am specifying the local group (admins) and the domain group (abc\test), but how do I adjust the coding to specify the user name and password I want this run under?

Thanks.

There is no Runas method of the Shell object that I can find.

See here if you want to use runas with credentials in a script

You might want to consider using PowerShell for this. You can save credentials in an encrypted format and import them for later use.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Mark
