Runas as DOMAIN\administrator - cmd

Hi
I have a Windows 7 machine which is configured as a Domain Member. I'm logged in with a domain account (Sandy) that is in a Administrators group. When I run cmd with 'Run as administrator', it asks me for UAC account details for DOMAIN and I enter DOMAIN\Administrator
username and the password and it gets me a command prompt. On this prompt, when I type 'whoami', it shows 'DOMAIN\Administrator'. I thought, it would be 'DOMAIN\Sandy' with Admin privileges like it happens on the Standalone Windows machine.
Can anyone please tell me why the user got changed? and how can I get the cmd for 'DOMAIN\Sandy' with elevated privileges?
The Domain Controller/Server is a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine.
Thanks.
Sandy

Running as another user will not run the process elevated though, that will just run in another user's context.  To have the process elevated you must choose run as administrator.  
If the account you're using has administrator privileges it won't prompt you for credentials, so the fact that you are logged in with Sandy and getting prompted for credentials suggests that Sandy is not an administrator.  Sandy might be in an administrators
group, but that administrators group is not a member of the Windows 7 computer's local administrators group.
I hope this post has helped!

  • Odd Run As issue with Windows 8.1 - Run As domain administrator not working

    I'm having an odd issue on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I log in with my standard account, but want to open things like group policy management with my special separate domain admin account. so I press shift, right click, run as a different user - fill in my username
    and password and get an access denied message. I verified I was using the right account info, verified UAC was turned off. I can run it as my non-domain admin account but of course I don't have access to everything. In the event viewer, I'm getting these messages:
    Application log:
    svchost (1648) SRUJet: An attempt to open the file "C:\Windows\system32\SRU\SRU.log" for read / write access failed with system error 5 (0x00000005): "Access is denied. ".  The open file operation will fail with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8).
    This and a few other similar messages show up in the application log, over and over again.
    Also the Application log has a couple of these, showing up only when I try to open as the domain admin account:
    Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards. No user action is required.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm at a complete loss.
    As a quick edit - I also am not out of space on the hard drive, I have many gigs on my partition left.

    Hi,
    This issue may occur if you do not have the appropriate permissions assigned to the folder.
    Please make sure you have the sufficient permission to access the folder:
    logon with that domain admin account to check if you could access that file.
    If it works fine, logon with that domain standard user account do it again.
    In addition, why didn't you run as administrator directly(don't use
    Run as different user)?

  • Built in domain administrator... locked out?

    PART-1
    Today our built in domain administrator got locked out. From what I've read this is not possible. We were alerted on it and when I opened the object it said it was locked out. (I'll admit, I didn't try logging in with it). I double checked and the objects
    SID does indeed end in -500 which is indicative of it being the built in account.  
    I ran this query:
    $BA=(get-addomain).domainsid
    $BA.tostring() + "-500"
    and the only result I got back was the SID that matched the user in question.
    What's going on? Was it truly locked out? I guess we will run a test tomorrow but I wanted to reach out to the forums too.
    PART-2
    Once this account was locked out we went to the source server and found that it was no longer on the domain. Instead it was in a workgroup that had a name that resembled our domain. I checked the event log and there were a ton of errors with event ID 4097
    that said "The machine [machine-name] attempted to join the domain [FQ-domain-name]\[FQDN-of-PDC] but failed. The error code was 1326". These errors correspond with the time that the account was locked out. There were a ton of them...
    The account that was originally used to join this machine to the domain was the built in admin above (I know, not best practice). Regardless, why would it switch from domain to a workgroup? Why would it attempt to auto re-join? And why would it use the account
    originally used to join the domain? 

    I have found my answers...
    Part 1:
    The built-in administrator will get locked out and marked as locked out - however, when you go to log in with it, it will AUTOMATICALLY unlock the account. So essentially it cannot be locked out but it will give off the impression that it is.
    you can however disable the account. .... supposedly if you ever have to recover your domain in restore mode it will enable the account for you... .never had an opportunity to test that and I hope I don't
    Part 2:
    This is a vmware related issue. The machine tried to re-run custom specs. Please see the following vmware article if you are having the same issue.
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2078352

  • Cannot connect to Domain\administrator from ny RDC after assigning an active directory domain to my server

    hi, I'm using windows server 2012 R2 and I was Just wondering how to make the Remote Desktop enable connection through domain\administrator before actually creating the domain... In other words, I wanted to create an Active Directory Domain User and connect
    to the server from the RDP. The problem is that I can only connect through the RDP considering that I'm using Windows Azure, so the physical server isn't actually sitting on my desk... Anyway when I create an AD DS the system automatically reboots and I'm
    not able to connect to it anymore, so all I need to do right now is enable somehow the Remote Desktop Services to connect through "Domain\Administrator" before I actually create the AD DS and assign it to my server so that when the system reboots
    and I open the RDP I can connect to the server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per your comment, it seems that you are managing the server with .RDP file. I can suggest you to run
    "Remote Desktop Connection Manager” for maintaining server. With that you can specify the credential for domain\administrator and when you setup the AD DS, after that you can open the connection through domain\administrator and not as local user.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,

  • Domain Administrator account being locked up by PDC

    Hi everyone,
    My PDC is locking up my domain administrator (administrateur in french) account.
    System event logs :
    The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of Administrateur due to a resource error, such as a hard disk write failure (the specific error code is in the error data) . Accounts are locked after a certain number of bad passwords are provided so please
    consider resetting the password of the account mentioned above.
    Level : Error
    Source : Directory-Services-SAM
    Event ID : 12294
    Computer : Contoso-PDC
    User : System
    There is absolutely no events in the security events log, not a single "Audit Failure" event for the "administrateur" account.
    I tried to change the name of the domain administrator account from "administrateur" to "administrator".
    Now there is "Audit failure" events poping up in the security event logs.
    Once again the Source Workstation is the PDC. I guess those events are there because it receive credential validation for an account who doesn't exist anymore since it have been renamed in "Administrator".
    Here is the detail log :
    An account failed to log on.
    Subject:
    Security ID: NULL SID
    Account Name: -
    Account Domain: -
    Logon ID: 0x0
    Logon Type: 3
    Account For Which Logon Failed:
    Security ID: NULL SID
    Account Name: Administrateur
    Account Domain: CONTOSO
    Failure Information:
    Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.
    Status: 0xc000006d
    Sub Status: 0xc0000064
    Process Information:
    Caller Process ID: 0x0
    Caller Process Name: -
    Network Information:
    Workstation Name: CONTOSO-PDC
    Source Network Address: -
    Source Port: -
    Detailed Authentication Information:
    Logon Process: NtLmSsp
    Authentication Package: NTLM
    Transited Services: -
    Package Name (NTLM only): -
    Key Length: 0
    This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.
    The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.
    The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
    The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.
    The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
    The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
    - Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
    - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
    - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
    On the PDC i checked :
    Services : None of them are started with the "administrateur" account
    Network Share : There is no network share ...
    Task Scheduler : None of the tasks are launch with the "administrateur" account.
    And the logon type (3:network) seem to indicate that the login comes from an other computer but i have nothing to look for, not a single IP.
    Any ideas?
    ps : Sorry for the probable english mistakes :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for you answers.
    San4wish :
    Lockout tool confirm that the domain administrator account is locked on my PDC. I didn't run eventcomb but i though it only helped parsing security event logs which i did "manually". Anyway i'll try eventcomb after this week end.
    About the conficker worm : I looked into it and this worm was exploiting a vulnerability in the server service. It have been patched by MS08-067 (KB958644) and this kb isn't available for Windows 2008 R2 and Windwos 2012 so i guess Windows 2008 R2 have
    fixed this vulnerabilty.
    So i doubt its a conficker type worm.
    Also i gave the PDC role to another DC (let's call him DC2) and now DC2 is locking the administrator account so it seems that the computer locking the account is doing it through the network and it's not something executed on the DCs.

  • Configuration Manager - Fails to run due to Administrator rights

    Hi All,
    I solved this issue for a client today when running configuration Manager during installation.
    After asking for the language it gives the error:  ALC-LCM-000-020 "Failed to launch Configuration Manager".
    The Configuration Manager log file contains the stack trace below.
    It was very similar to this issue (reported in Cold Fusion):  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/228722
    I discovered the installation was running from a domain administrator account, which had Windows Explorer Shell paths locked out.
    I got them create a local administrator account (not a domain account), and it worked
    Good luck!

    Thanks, Leks
    That was the first thing I tried :)
    I've also tried this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqltools/thread/468b8484-2729-4a06-bfc3-efe54507dcb6

    and that: http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Repair-WMI-Services.php
    and some other stuff I could find.
    At least I've tried to repair Sql 2008 installation. But it also did not work.
    Lastly I've uninstalled all the instances and components related with sql. And I renamed the folders (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and the hidden folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server) and made a clean install. Voila, it worked!
    But the "Sql Server Configuration Manager"s icon has gone somewhere :) Anyway it works fine now.
    I had to do that because I have a project to finish.
    Poor Microsoft!

  • Built-in domain Administrator account not given full access to new Exchange 2013 server

    I migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013 over the weekend.  I cannot log into the EAC with my domain administrator account I use to log into all my other servers.  I also cannot run the clean-mailboxdatabase cmdlet logged in as this user.  I
    had no trouble moving mailboxes from the old server to the new server with this account though.
    This account is a member of: Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, Exchange Full Admin, Exchange Organization Admin, Organization Management, Schema Admins, Server Management.
    I can log into the EAC with another admin account that has the same memberships as the Administrator account.
    I tried giving the account the role of "Databases" as suggested by others to fix the clean-mailboxdatabase issue but that did not work for me either.
    The Administrator mailbox has been moved to the new database on the Exchange 2013 server.  The Exchange 2010 has been decommissioned and is turned off.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, to retrieves the mailbox statistics for the disconnected mailboxes for all mailbox databases in the organization, we can try the following command:
    Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics -Filter 'DisconnectDate -ne $null'
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124612(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Additionally, The Identity parameter specifies the disconnected mailbox in the Exchange database and it can be display name instead of mailbox GUID.

    Hope it can help you.

  • Queries run faster under Administrator account than from "regular" users

    We have OBIEE 10g used as a reporting tool against E-Business R11i. When OBI reports are run from the Administrator account, they complete in about 15 secs. When the same report , with same parameters is run from a non-administrator account, completion takes 5 mins. In this latter case, the E-Business DBA can clearly see the "expensive" query running in the E-Business database (module=nqsserver@<obi application server host>). In both cases, the results of the query are the same.
    What can account for the difference in performance when the user account is changed?
    TIA

    Hi SVS,
    Not too sure what you mean but I do know that,
    1. Authentication for end-users is through MS Active Directory (to login to OBI, they enter the same password as for the Windows Domain login to their PC's).
    2. Authorization is via responsibilities granted to their corresponding accounts in R11i E-Business Suite, ie the reports that they can run in OBIEE are determined by responsibilities in E-Business.
    Thanks,

  • Install Oracle XE in a domain without domain administrator credential

    Hi,
    I work in a company. My Windows 7 64b and my login are identified in a Windows domain. For test purpose, I would like to install Oracle XE on my computer so that I can connect on it.
    I tried many things and I had always credential problems or Oracle problems. As I understand the behavior of Oracle :
    - if you install it being connected to the domain, you enter during the install a system password that is useless : the domain administrator password should probably be used
    - if you logged in the domain but you disconnect your network cable, you cann connect with the given system password
    - if after installation you change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to (NONE) then you can connect but Oracle isn't started. From the logs, it seems that Oracle hadn't the correct password itself to initialize itself
    - if you create, on your computer, a local account with administratror credential, it works all fine from this account but not from your domain account !
    My question is : how to install Oracle XE being identified on the domain, without needing administrator credential ? Or once Oracle is installed and authentification set to local, is it possible to initialize Oracle again ?

    how to install Oracle XE being identified on the domain, without needing administrator credential Add your domain login to the local administrators group. Per the XE install guide for Windows, the installing user must have administrator rights on the host. See the section "Permission Requirement for Installing Oracle Database XE" at:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABIHEJC
    Also note the System Architecture requirement, Intel x86, which is not X64. Not to say that it won't work, but there will be challenges getting a successful installer run with a Windows X64 OS.

  • Domain Administration Server HA

    Greetings,
    I'm in the process of setting up a Appserver cluster, with four nodes.
    Originally I planned to install domain administration server on one machine, then install nodeagents on all four machines.
    I was going to create a cluster and add the node agents.
    However, what I have run into is, if I lose the machine that is the domain adminstration server, what will I do?
    Can I install domain adminstration servers on multiple machines and manage the same cluster configuration? do I just need to mirror the "domains" directory to another server, and if that macine fails I can start that domain on another machine?
    I guess my questions would be what the best practices are for deploying applications server cluster and how to maintain high availability on the administration servers.
    I'm using Version 8 Enterprise Addistion btw.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am in the same place as Jeremy and would like an answer to his question.
    Also regarding recreating the the DAS:
    Lets say you set up a cluser with 2 server instances across 2 machines with the Admin (DAS) server on the first nodeagent/server instance machine. Can you use the second nodeagent/server instance machine as the backup machine to recreate the DAS? If so, any special instructions? I certainly do not want to have to involve a 3rd machine.

  • Built-in Domain Administrator Account Repeated Locks

    This account was disabled years ago and is not used.  However, event 4740 are regularly generated,  It shows the calling computer name as one of our servers.  So, I logged into the that server and look in the local security event log and there
    are no references to account lockouts at the time the 4740s are generated on the domain controllers.
    I checked for services running on the server using administrator credentials and I checked for scheduled tasks using administrator credentials and I don't see anything on the server listed as caller computer.
    I renamed the "User logon name" for this account to something different so that would not longer be a match if something is try to authenticate using the logon name of "administrator."  However, this has not helped.  The account
    still generates the 4740.
    I checked the domain "Administrator" account again today and it was no longer disabled.  So, I disabled it again and will see if it still gets locked out again in the next 24 hours.
    How can an account with the user id changed still get locked out?  It seems very strange that the account can be locked out when the user name no longer matches anything that could have ever had that user id saved.
    What can be done to fix this issue?

    hi,
    If possible please do the following steps.
    Note: here I have taken user account name as User1
    1.Using ADSIEDIT changed the value of UserAccountControl attribute of the User1 account to 66082(numerical) i.e. 0x10222(in hex) and disabled it which is the sum of the following attributes:
    a. ACCOUNTDISABLE; PASSWD_NOTREQD; NORMAL_ACCOUNT; DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD
    b.    
    It’s current value was 0x10202 aka 66050 in dec (I believe this implies ACCOUNTDISABLE | NORMAL_ACCOUNT | DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD)
    2.   Then for the account (in ADUC) do the following:
    a.  Unchecked the "user cannot change password" -> OK
    b. Right-clicked on the
    ‘user1’ account and selected reset password and kept it blank and clicked OK
     i.     
    This step is to set a NULL password for the User1 account and keep it disabled
    c.      
    Right-clicked on the User1 account and checked the "user cannot change password" again

  • How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password

    How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
    It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
    An accessible PC.
    A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
    The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
    Then it requires 4 steps as below:
    Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
    Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
    Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.
    Step 4: Follow its instruction and click “Reset Password” button to reset your Windows 2008/R2 Domain/Local administrator password.
    More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.

    It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
    illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
    Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:

  • Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

    Dear All,
    Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
