Here is the snytax from the RusAs command on Windows 2000.

RUNAS [/profile] [/env] [/netonly] /user:<UserName> program

My question. Can I create a .CMD (or other EXE) file that has the password of the user I want to use? I don't want my program to run and have it prompt for the password of user I am using.

I don't see a "/Password" switch in the help syntax for RusAs.

Thank you.

I don't beleive this is possible. Note the "NOTE: Enter user's password only when prompted."

Why not use the task scheduler? This lets you specify an account to run the "Application" (Or, your batch file) as.

This will happen at run-time so using the Scheduler will not work for me. But I solved the problem using WinBatch. So I can install what I need for any user by having them run the EXE I give them that will in turn log on as a differnt user, then turn control back over to the logged on user.

Thanks.
