RUNAS command

[TOMMYyT]

Is there a way to pass a password into the runas command?

May be in vbs script?

You can use the Echo command:
Echo Password|Runas .........

I got the error below. I tried putting the echo command on the line before the runas command. There is no error but the comand dosen't work.

W:\Documents and Settings\ta83606\Desktop>echo pw | runas /user:erdhfdctx015\eccc\ notepad.exe
Enter password for erdhfdctx015\eccc\:
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to change echo mode
W:\Documents and Settings\ta83606\Desktop>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Sorry, i tried it with the runas command and it also failed. We use the command every day with the Su-Service, and there it works. So i thought this is also possible with the runas command.
maybe you can use the Su, the service does the same as runas and you can use it under NT4.

I thought the Runas command just prompted you for the password when needed?

runas /profile /user:mymachine\administrator cmd

then the passwould would be asked for after trying to run the command.

It does. The object was to not get a prompt.

The RunAs command is an Interactive Utility only. It will not accept Piping or Echoing of the password. There are several utilities that can not only accept the password but also encrypt it as well. Here are a few links.

Use su.exe instead:
