Windows 10: Sending password from a script for runAs command

Hello,


Currently working on a code to stop and start a windows services with administrator credentials from a java programming language.

Was researching on runAs command but couldn't pass send password either through piping the command or by reading the password through a file.


Is there a possibility to send the password for runAs from java programming language.


Thanks!

runas command won't recognize administrator password


I tried the runas command to configure some software I just updated, as the directions said, but my administrator password was rejected. Then I tested the runas command on a pdf file that I know for sure is in the current directory (it can open from the command line), but my administrator password is still rejected.

Settings > Accounts says:

Seka
Local Account
Administrator

And I'm able to confirm my current password and change it (I change it to the same password). But here's the problem:
C:\Users\Seka\Desktop>runas /u:administrator Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf
Enter the password for administrator:
Attempting to start Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf as user "SEKA-PC\administrator" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf
1326: The user name or password is incorrect.
C:\Users\Seka\Desktop>

Any tips? Ways to confirm my password works or that I'm the administrator or anything? It's too late for me to go back to Windows 7.

EDIT: I was surprised with a log on screen when I turned my computer on this morning. I had to enter my password. It worked though.

 

runas command for username with spaces

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the issue that you are currently facing, we will try the best we can to resolve your issue.

Since this command may run under both elevated and non-elevated privileges. I would suggest you do a SFC Scan and see if everything is working properly in your system.

Follow the steps to run the System File Checker

• On the Search bar type “cmd” and click ctrl + shift + Enter to open the Elevated Command Prompt. (If prompted for a password, type the password and click Allow)
• Type “sfc /scannow” and hit Enter.
• Exit Command Prompt.

Logon script to install software to run w/o admin priviledges

I'm trying to get a script to work from Group policy to install a photo editing software from google called picasa.

My script currnetly looks like:

IF EXIST C:\picasainstalled-dont-delete.txt exit ELSE start \\timothyclass\Data\picasa35-setup.exe /S /L

echo.>C:\picasainstalled-dont-delete.txt


and a parameter when placed in group policy of: runas /user:student.timothy.com\Administrator

Although im guessing it wants the password and doesnt prompt for it *Frown .

Any suggestions on how i can do this?
