Running Administrator commands over Remote Assistance

SanKuKaï

Hey,

I would like to run some admin commands (Network setup for instance) while using Remote Assistance on a remote computer. Unfortunately I only have the client's user rights and permision is denied.

Do you know how I can do that?

Many thanks!

Use the RUNAS command in the CLI window or the shift+right click on programs.

I know I can use the Runas feature to run a program. But how can I use features that are reserved to admin accounts only and not available to non-admin accounts....? (Network places or services for example).

The way I use it is this I do a runas command EG: runas /user:userraccount@domain.com cmd, this will give you admin rights to the command line, from there, just use the following:

Keep in mind that if you are attempting to do DC related administrationton a client OS such as windows XP, adminpak should be installed, or the other way is to right click the executable and do a runas, you'll notice that not all executable has the runas, so I always use it this way, since it works better.

Good answer JB. You can also do mmc as well.

I simply open control panel, open administrative tools, hold down shift and right click the services icon, click runas, and enter my credentials. Thus opening up the window running as the user your specified.

Hehe, I've got that same administrative tools list bookmarked. If you're copying and pasting from somewhere, you really should be linking back to it.
