| Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate | Launching process with Admin Credentials with out prompting user for Admin password Hi, I would like to know is there any way to launch a process with Admin credentials without prompting user for Admin credentials. I have application (Poerted in .Net with manifest file configuration to "requireAdminstrator") that does some admin activities for which it requres admin credentials. But when I am launching an application it prompts for admin credentials. After providing this application runs properly. But I dont want Admin password to be known to Standard Users. Is there any way to run process with full administrative tocken whiout propting to user. Thanks Sni |

The schedule itself was bogus like 'in 5 years'. Then I could run it any time like this: SCHTASKS /RUN <theJob> |

The user does not need to know them to run the job once it is scheduled. The SCHTASKS /RUN syntax contains credential parameters but they are not used by the job. Their purpose is so you can give credentials when SCHTASKS /RUN isn't allowed by your ID. The job itself always runs using the credentials supplied when the job was created. |

| Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate | Re: Launching process with Admin Credentials with out prompting user for Admin passwo Hi, I have created schedule task in Admin mode and that is running fine. But when i moved to Standard User profile I am not able to see the task created with Admin credentials and also I am not able create any other new tasks with Standard User profile. Pls tell us is there any settings that needs to be set in control panel and how to create scheduled tasks in Admin mode so that can be used in Standard User profile . |

There you should be able to give other users read/execute access to that particular job. |

| Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate | Re: Launching process with Admin Credentials with out prompting user for Admin passwo Thanks. I did it same way. With Admin account I have provided Standard User's account then it runs in Standard User's profile. but it still prompt for UAC. I think it will not run with Admin credentials. It is dependent on what type of USER specified in security options. |
