    Unable to find "runas" and other commands!


    Windows 10 - I think my system variable path is messed up! because I'm not able to run any commands such as powershell or runas from the command prompt after booting to a bootable disk and going to command prompt for troubleshooting. Error - Runas or Powershell is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.


    It started with me trying to shrink my primary partition but after shrinking,

    it wouldn't allow me to create a new partition on the unallocated space. It would tell me that there wasn't enough space available, even though I was accepting the recommended size! After rebooting, it wouldn't find the MBR anymore.

    Windows repair disk diagnostic utilities or troubleshooting is unable to fix it! My only hope is to use an elevated privileged command prompt to repair the mbr. But I can't find the commands!


    Any ideas how to fix this? I would very much appreciate it.


    Thank you

    :)

    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!

    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.
    For more information about SFC Scan click on the link below:

    Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.
