Need script to run command line as administrator

I need a VB Script to run a certain command line "wmic Product where name='XXX XXX XXX' call uninstall" in an elevated command prompt.
This is to uninstall a hidden application.
Is this possible? It must be I have see many others with suggestions and here it is. I tried a few I have seen but have not been able to get any to work.

Bill,
Thank you for the quick answer. I believe you are right in your assumption.
I have been searching but found nothing so far.
I need to be able to run this line "wmic
Product where name='XXX XXX XXX' call uninstall"
in an elevated command prompt to uninstall the program.
I was looking for a VB script or PowerShell to execute it remotely on non domain roaming PCs.
Th3e command can be run remotely against stand-alone workstations but you must supply credentials. Post in the platform forum for you version of Windows for help in using the WMIC utility. WMIC /? will give you all of the command options fro
remote execution. UAC only affects local systems. You cannot use WMIC to remote back to the local system. WMIC does not allow impersonation to the local system.
Most installers will not automatically allow an unattended uninstall. If there is any dialog at all the uninstall will fail and can hang.
I recommend contacting the vendor of the application to get more information.
In all cases you cannot bypass UAC as Bill has noted. I am only noting that, sometimes, in a workgroup, you can use WMIC to remotely uninstall an application.

Using computer variables in task sequence "Run Command Line"

I am attempting to deploy VMs through VMware's vRealize Automation tool using CM. The process creates a CM computer object then creates a direct rule on a CM collection for the new computer object. During the creation of the computer object vRA creates computer
variables provided by me on the computer object. I see the computer object built and i see the custom variables on the computer object:
Name Value
dns1 10.10.10.10
dns2 10.10.10.11
gateway 10.10.10.1
ipAddress 10.10.10.2
netMask 255.255.255.0
In the task sequence the last step is to "Run Command Line":
cmd /c netsh int ip set address name="Ethernet0" static %ipAddress% %netMask% %gateway% & cmd /c netsh int ip set dns name="Ethernet0" static %dns1% & cmd /c netsh int ip set dns name="Ethernet0" static %dns2% index=2
When the TS gets to that step it doesn't substitute the variables in the command with the computer variables listed above. Looking at the smsts logs after the deployment is complete I see lines stating:
Set Command Line:...
Start executing command line:...
Executing command line:...
ProgramName = ...
All of those lines show the command exactly as it is above with the %variables% intact.
The command immediately fails with the error:
Invalid address parameter (%ipAddress%). It should be a valid IPv4 address.
Does anyone have a suggestion on why the TS isn't using the variables? I found this article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693541.aspx but its for 2007 not 2012. I wasn't able to find something comparable for 2012.

I don't know why anyone here thinks you *need* sccm osd to achieve fully automated customizations.
Customer selects base image (2008 r2 core, 2008r2 gui, 2012 r2 core, 2012 r2 gui), which should be thin and with zero customizations anyway,
vaai accelerated clone creates vm,
ip addr/gateway/dns config is injected with powercli,
customers config management engine agent of choice is installed via powercli script injection/execution (we have puppet users, ConfigMgr users, saltstack users, IEM users, Cheff users),
the clone completes in ~2 minutes and a VM is presented to the customer in less than 5 minutes
Deploying windows VMs via SCCM OSD is not only slow, but requires dev work on the customer side to get things rolling which wastes everyone's cycles including your own

How to run command line tool in my program???

Hi,all,I've got some tools that are usually,or take JDK for example,if we are not using an IDE,we need to open the command prompt,and then use the javac command to compile the source files and the "java "command to run the program,and both of them accept some command line params.The problem is that how could i integrate the tools in my own program,like JBuilder or some other IDE,you configure the params and compile and run in the IDE which don't need to open a command line prompt.Hope i have got my question clear:)
Best regards..

jesperdj ,thanks:)
actually,i am using eclipse to run my ant tasks programmatically,but I got trouble with the AntRunner class.it seems that i should config a proper classloader for it,but i just don't know how.please lend a hand:)thanks

BO Edge 4.0 Installer stuck on "Run command-line executable"

Hi,
Our BO Edge BI Server 4.0 Installer on Windows Server 2008R2 is stuck on one of the last steps; "Run command-line executable".
Before is was stuck on "WaitForCMSForTheFirstTime". We upped the RAM to 16GB and then the installer went past this, but after a full reset of the server and trying again it is now stuck a few steps later on "Run command-line executable". This is very frustrating, especially since there is no error message at all, no install log and the installer is just stuck indefinitely and we had to cancel it.
At that point the Central Configuration Manager shows this:
Apache Tomcat - Running
BW Publisher Service - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Authentication Server - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Processing Server - Stopped
Server Intelligence Agent - Running
We can't deinstall from Windows to start over at this point because the installer says an install is in progress.
What is going on?
Help urgently needed and appreciated

Hello,
Yes, certain stages run for a long duration. "Run command-line executbale" runs for atleast 45 mins. It's normal.
My suggestion would be to leave it for 45 mins-90 mins.
Now that you have interrupted your installtion, try uninstalling it through the control panel.
In case you can't see the software there, then you have to edit registry entries, which is very tiresome.

Sonia

Calling an ExtendScript script from the command line

Hi! I can call an ExtendScript script from a command line just by using its path, but is there a way to pass parameters to the script? Thanks. -Rick

Hi Rick,
Well, a scan of the documentation certainly provides no evidence of this capability. If it exists, someone else will have to fill us in.
I did have an idea, although it's a bit of a roundabout approach. A windows batch file can accept parameters and can write a text file. So, maybe Mif2Go can call a batch file instead that writes the folder to some file, then runs the script that reads the file. Although, I'm not familiar with a command line call to ES, so I'm not sure that a batch file can launch an ES script too. If not, can Mif2Go make more than one command line call?
Russ

I can't find a class to run command line stuff...

Does J2SE have the capability to run command line files/executable files? I need to run some things from command line on my local machine. This ap will be swing based. Thanks for any insight.

that is what I need. I did not think to look there. Thanks so much.

TS-Run Command Line-run as different user

HI
I needed to deploy one program which do not like SYSTEM account (do not installs). So I created TaskSequence with
Run Command line and specified domain user which will be running this command.
Is my domain users password safe or it will be provided in clear text in my network? Because this user must be Admin on local computer.

Just to reinforce, the tasks use standard, core Windows APIs to impersonate the account and execute the command -- these APIs never send anything in clear text and if they did, then Windows has much bigger issues. It would actually take
a huge amount of effort to not securely perform this operation.

Sending scripts to the command line

Is there a function I can use to send a script to the command line and capture what it sends to the standard output? For example, if I'm writing a java program that I want to execute adder.exe and store the output of adder.exe (which is just sent to standard output) in an array, how would I go about doing that?

You might check out the methods in java.lang.Process.

Run Scripts from windows command line

Running a function from a powershell script from the command line

Rather than creating several scripts each with one function, I have one script with has several functions.... I would like to call the script and select the function i want to use from the command line.
so far, if i change directory to that of the script i can call the function by doing this:
cd c:\myscripts
. .\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
this works fine.... i have also tried, what I would like to achieve is calling it like this
c:\myscripts\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
however, i am trying to run this as part of an MDT task sequence, my command line looks like this and using the ; myfunction at the end doesn't work.
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass %SCRIPTROOT%\CustomScripts\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
how can i adapt my command line so that it will successfully call the function within my script?
thanks
Steve

Rename the file from ps1 to psm1 and create a powershell module that contain multiple functions. A module will autoload like the built-in modules.
Placement of the psm1 file is important for Powershell to find and autoload it.
The file name and folder name must be the same, for example MyModule.psm1 should be in the folder:
user\documents\windowspowershell\modules\mymodule
Windows PowerShell Modules
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878324(v=vs.85).aspx
PS C:\> get-childItem env:PSModulePath
Name Value
PSModulePath C:\Users\User\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\

The trouble is although this script works great for commands that can be run is the 'background' as SYSTEM is I want to pass a command to actually open something e.g. notepad in the above example nothing seems to happen. As far as I can make out the command line is running but not as %username% so it's not running notepad.exe in the foreground.
I'm happy to clarify more if necessary.
Can anyone help with this?

Hi,
You just post ur output file in some folder , lets say /usr/sap/sapout/test/.and the shell script in this path /usr/sap/bin/convert.sh.
Inside the File access parameters put target directory and filename scehme and for shell script give processing parameters as File construction mode , File type and OS Command and use a space after the shell script name and the %F.
And for input can use it directly.
Check out these links. First one will help you in acheiving want you want.

Execute script from AfterFX command line

Hello all
I'm trying to run a script from the AfterFX.exe command line and I get a message: "Unable to execute script at line 1. Syntax error"
If I run the same script file from the AE Script Editor, it works perfectly
Here is the command line I'm using:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" -noui -s "D:\Product\Watermark\Rendering\WatermarkedSecuritySample.jsx"
Anyone have an idea of what can cause this error? I've tried running the script directly in the command line like
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" -noui -s "alert('1')"
and it works fine for short script but mine is way to big to do that
As you can probably guess with the "Watermark" and "Security" in the filename, I cannot post the script file here, all I can say is that the line 1 is:
var projectName = "D:\\Product\\WatermarkTemplate.aep";
I've tried to replace the entire script with "alert('1');" and it cause the same error when running it from the command line
Also, if anyone know where I can find the AfterFX.exe command line arguments description, I would be very happy.. everybody talks about aerender.exe but I need thoses options for AfterFX.exe
Thanks for your help

Have you tried to use "-r" instead of "-s"?
(argument for "-s" is a script; and argument for "-r" is a path to script)

Jay,
Your question isn't very clear, hence Joerg's well meaning but irrelevant advise.
Do you mean:
I've written a simple program in java which echos
it's command-line arguments to back to the console.
Here's my code:
package forums;
public class ArgsEchoer
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String arg : args) {
System.out.println(arg);
But can't figure out how to compile and run the program.
I'm using winblows shista, and it's cr@p.
Please help me, Thanks in advance.So... where are you at? Have you installed the JDK (java development kit)? Which version? Is your path set? Is your classpath set?

How to execute SAPGUI script from the command line?

I have created a script and would like to execute it from the command line. There must be some flag that goes with SAPGUI.EXE. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
the best way to do this is to run the script using the Windows Script Host, for example like this:
cscript myscript.vbs
This will execute the script which in turn can access SAP GUI. You may however have to make sure the script attaches to the correct session.
Best regards,
Christian
