RUNAS command

by nook . Updated 23 years, 11 months ago

I want to use the RUNAS command to access the command prompt on another Win2k computer using that machine’s local administor account.

this is the command I’m entering
runas /user:computer\administrator cmd

When I run this, I’m prompted for a password. After entering it, displays
‘Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password’
I’m certain the password entered is correct.

Microsoft reports problems doing this if SP1 is installed. Both machines have SP2 and have the runas service started.

Is this a valid use of the RUNAS command?
