Windows

Here is the command syntax for TQCRunas:

>TqcRunAs [/profile] [/env] [/netonly] [/w] [/dd] [/dom <Domain&gt /user <Username /pw <passwd> commandline

/profile to load the user profile.
/env to use the current environment variables.
/netonly use if the credentials will be used only for network access.
/w wait for the new process and return its exit code.
/dd use the default domain if exists, otherwise the local machine is used unless you specify other domain with /dom
/dom <Domain> use it if you want to specify a domain, by default the local machine is used
/user <Username>
/pw <Password>
program command line. See the examples

Examples:

>tqcrunas /profile /user administrator /pw passwd cmd
>tqcrunas /profile/env /user admin /pw passwd "mmc %windir%\system32\dsa.msc"
>tqcrunas /env /user user /pw passwd "notepad \"my file.txt\""

I just tried it in a BAT file, and what do you know, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

Here is my 1-line BAT file (called it TEST.BAT) to call Notepad under my domain Administrator account:

tqcrunas /dom MYDOMAIN /user Administrator /pw %1 notepad.exe
I then from the command line ran TEST.BAT PASSWORD (where I put in my real Admin password), and Notepad started right up!

Finally!
Get this app NOW:

I pulled down version 2.5, which is a single stand alone .EXE file.
It worked!

hope this helps

Forgot to add, so you can put the password for your RUNNER account in the BAT file, have your developer compile it, or do any of the other things you wanted to do. This app is what you need.

Hey you're right!! Here is a quick procedure i created for anyone who needs help.

1) Logon as the administrator account (local or domain)
2) Create a user LOCALLY named (whatever) password ******
3) Make (whatever) a LOCAL administrator
4) Go to the TQCrunas directory (where it was uncompressed)
5) Copy TQCrunas.exe into the c:\winnt directory of the computer you are working on.
6) Copy the TQCrunas.dll into the c:\winnt\system32 directory
7) Using dos, enter the system32 directory.
Type ?regsvr32 tqcrunas.dll?
You should see a confirmation
9) Now open MS DOS. Go to the root directory (cd \). Now use this command line to create your tqc file. Note, this command line will create an ENCRYPTED file that contains the command line.

TqcRunas -build (executablename).tqc -d (localcomputername) -user (whatever) -pw ????? -e C:\Location\of\executable.exe

10) Now there is a file named (executablename).tqc in your C Directory. Copy that file into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Startup Menu. This will allow all users that sit down at this computer to run that program as a LOCAL ADMIN.
11) Before you log out, double click the file and point it to C:\winnt\
12) Now log out as the Administrator, log in as theuser, and test the .tqc file. It should work.

Thanks you very very much Mr. Moore!!!

PTCtech,
By opening up HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that way, wont that give the users on that machine to install stuff, maybe even mess with the registry? And then I have to figure out premissions on the folders and INI files? DOH. Please read the above suggestion. Its works a AWFUL lot better!!

thanks for the advice
