Using Runas /savedcred with UAC with a non admin account

Perhaps ths should be posted in the sysinternals section but im trying to use this one as we are on a Windows 2008R2 server so feel free to point me to another board if thats the case.
The Problem:
We are trying to script access to a program that requires admin priviliges admin for a non admin user.
I was utilizing the method outlined here :
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/193743-elevated-program-shortcut-create-standard-user.html
However we have the following error comes back from runas..
RUNAS ERROR Unable to run "D:\program files(x86)\blah.exe" error 87 the parameter is incorrect.
command string looks like this :
runas /user:Brink-PC\Administrator /savecred "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe"
No errors in the security or application logs...
Many thanks in advance for assistance

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
If i understand you correctly, you want to access a program with admin privileges.
Maybe you could try this:

  • How to run admin tasks with non-admin account ?

    Hello,
    The title says it all: I want to allow some non-administrative accounts to run admin tasks which must be run as root.
    A solution would be to use 'sudo' and give rights to those non-admin accounts on the binaries used by the tasks. But I notably use 'chmod' and 'chown' in those tasks, and I would not want to give to non-admin accounts rights to run those commands as root outside the admin task scripts. But from my understanding of 'sudo', if I do it, non-admin accounts will be able to use chmod and chown outside the scripts. Is this right ?
    The sid bit could have been a solution I think, but sadly it is not supported on Mac OSX 10.5.
    Thanks

    I am trying to use the sudo route add command in a script, which should run as part of a vpn connection config file. I get an unable to run script error in the log.
    I searched and found the following older discussion
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1986808
    I tried that but I get a syntax error when trying to save the sudoers file I chose to save anyway.
    Tried to run the command from the terminal and got the following error
    postdrop warning: unable to look up public/pickup:no such file or directory.
    Can you give me an example of your sudoers file with the correct syntax etc.
    Thanx

  • Run software update in non-admin account?

    I did some searching through past posts, but the most recent one I found was several years old.
    Is there any way to run Software Update automatically in a non-admin account?  I run in a non-admin account unless there's some task that really needs admin privileges to complete, for security purposes, but having Software Update not run automatically is rather suboptimal for security.
    So, is there any way to get Software Update to check for updates automatically from a non-admin account? (I'm not averse to using the crontab or launchd, if necessary—I've never done it before, but given instructions, I'm sure I could figure it out.
    Thanks in advance!

    Did some research on this the other day, to see if i could get Software Update to run in the middle of the night like Windows can do.
    Software Update requires Root powers, so when you give it your Admin Password your opening a sudo window of 5 minutes for it to complete it's task.
    Software Update doesn't check for updates while in Standard User becuase Standard Users supposedly can't do anything about it anyway and it would be a obvious distraction. "Mommy the computer....!!!"
    Apple should have a option in Software update preferences to let certain Standard Users know a Software Update is ready just for the purpose your explaining. I run in Standard as well.
    I ran some Software Update commands via the Terminal for a launchd just to see what I could do.
    Apprantly one can DOWNLOAD updates automatically with launchd in Admin, but not install them because of the need for sudo.
    I just misssed a perfect opoortunity (todays update) to run a launchd to do automatic downloads of Software update, then see how to go about installing them afterwards. So fsck me, I'll have to wait now. (unless i use my other machine! ahhh!!)
    Anyway the program you want is this little gem: Lingon 
    it's on Sourceforge (grab the image)
    Ok so that takes care of the Software update downloads (man softwareupdate in Terminal for commands)
    /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --download --all
    Will do the automatic downloads, now it's just a script away to let you know ( a nice pop up window) that you have something in your folder where the Software Update just downloaded into.
    That's the next question is where that is and how to run it.

  • Problems running TestStand 4.0 under non-admin account

    I am having problems running TestStand 4.0 under a non-admin account under windows XP. I have done the following:
       1. Set full control protection to entire National Instrument directory
       2. tcverselext.exe was giving me problems until I changed it to run in window 95 compatability mode. Otherwise I get an "you do not have administrator priviliges to run this command" error. Don't know if this is the correct fic for this.
       3. Now when starting TestStand I get a "Retrieving COM class factory for component with CLSID {B2794EF6-C0B6-11D0-939C-0020AF68E893} - failed due to the following error: 80040154." error
    Everything works fine as administrator.
    Can anyone help me?
    Don

    The Version Selector needs to be run with Administrator Access.  When you are running it in Windows 95 Compatability Mode, you are masking the problem.  However, once you set the correct version of TestStand, you no longer need Administrator Access to use the Sequence Editor.

  • Sharing external hard drive from non-admin account

    We have 2 G5 Mac's in our prepress dept. at work. There is one external FW hard drive shared from G5 #1. I decided to turn the account I use on a daily basis to a non-Admin account (on G5 #1). When I do this, G5 #2 can no longer access the FW drive that is connected to G5 #1. It doesn't even show up on G5 #2 in the list of volumes to mount. As soon as I turn the account on G5 #1 back into an Admin account, G5 #2 has access to the FW drive. I've tried changing permissions on the drive and checking "Ignore ownership on this volume" all without success. No matter what I try, G5 #2 can only access the FW drive if G5 #1 is set up as Admin. Is this normal or am I missing something? Both G5's are running Tiger 10.4.11.
    Eric S.

    I knew what Sharepoints was but I had never used it before. Since your last post on this topic, I downloaded and installed it. I still can not make the external drive accessible to the other Mac unless my account is an admin account. Maybe I'm missing something in Sharepoints or have a wrong setting somewhere.
    I'm just beginning to mess around with Terminal and Unix commands so I have no idea how to do what I'm trying to do from Terminal.
    Thanks,

  • I downloaded itunessetup but when i open it it asks what program to run it with. but none of the programs listed would be a program to run a .exe program?

    so i downloaded itunessetup but when i open it it asks what program to run it with. but none of the programs listed would be a program to run a .exe program? what should i do?

    Maybe it didn't get the EXE extension.  If it does not have the extension, put one on it and see if that helps.
    If it has a DMG extension, it is the Mac version of the software.

  • Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account

    I''ve got a couple of problems with a fresh install of photoshop on my windows Windows 7 64 bits system.
    1. Libraries panel does not work. It displays the following error and interaction is not possible:
    2. 3rd party plugins would load their content.
    3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
    The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?

    This is a permissions Error.  The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
    There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
    My Preferred method is:
    If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people.  ( win7,64bit )
    Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
    choose/click on properties
    choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
    Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator,  Click that check box.
    Click on  Change Settings for All Users
    in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box-  the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
    Click OK
    Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
    You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
    Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins.  I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
    Good Luck

  • Screen sharing to OS X Lion Server with non-admin account

    I have set up a Lion Server with one admin (in addition to the root user) and several non-admin normal accounts. In Server.app, I have enabled remote login with ssh, and remote management via screen sharing.  I am unable to use Screen Sharing to connect to the server from the non-admin accounts, but able to use the admin account. I've read that it is only enabled for admin users, but need to access from non-admin accounts, and I can't add these accounts to the admin group. Is there a way to do this with Workgroup Manager? I tried changing the Remote Management settings in System Preferences by adding the non-admin, but when selecting 'Observe' and 'Control' in the options for the user, they are not saved.

    I resolved this issue by deselecting the "Enable screen sharing and remote management" in Server.app and going to System Preferences, Sharing Preferences, Screen Sharing, and allowing access for "All Users".  If you have some users you want to allow VNC, you can create a group, add the allowed users to the group, and add the group under "Only these users".

  • Possible conflict with iTunes 7 and non-admin account

    I've tried burning cd's in my usual windows account (limited) and it comes up with the error message "disc burner or software not found", but when I log into my admin account and try and burn an mp3 then it burns just fine. I wonder if they changed the way version 7 burns cd's...
    Any solutuions or fixes?

    I'm not really looking for a way to roll it back. I was just hoping to find a fix for the current version, or make them aware that there is a problem with running it in a non-admin account.
    Thanks for the info though!

  • Apple Remote won't work with Non-admin account :-(

    Hi all,
    i have a Macbook (OS version 10.5.4). Earlier there was only one account on this laptop, and i was using it as an administrator. A few days ago i decided to convert that account to a regular (non-admin) one, and created a separate admin-only account. When i tried using my Apple Remote in the non-admin account, it wouldn't work at all ! So i tried it in the admin account, and i was able to use it and paired it with this macbook.
    But on logging back into the regular account, it has stopped working again (even though System Preferences>Security says the macbook is paired with a remote). Please help!! It would be especially helpful if this could be fixed without having to create & migrate to a whole new account, etc... i'm open to command-line solutions [ that won't crash the machine ]
    Thanks a million !
    ..meghana

    Never mind. i logged out of the non-admin account and into the admin account, unpaired and re-paired the remote. Then logged back into the non-admin account, and voilà! Its magic i tell you! hope this helps any other people who have the same problem.

  • Another "This itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different icloud account than Apple ID "

    I saw another thread on the matter but thought I would post because the circumstances are different. Here is how it happened.
    I have had an Apple Store account for years and until recently our family has only had our one Mac and my iPhone 4. Thus any purchases we have made on the Apple App Store were made only with this account.
    We recently purchased two iPhone 5S's--one for my wife and one for my daughter. Neither had Apple IDs so first we set up my wife's iPhone and created an Apple ID for her. Next we used the Family Sharing feature to set up an account for our "under age 13" daughter.
    Because I am still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus to arrive, and because the iPhone 4 cannot upgrade to iOS 8, and because my Apple ID is the only account with any apps that have been purchased in prior years, I set up my wife as the Family Organizer but when I set up her account, I chose the option to "share purchases from a different account" and entered the information for my Apple ID.
    My daughter is able to view my prior purchases on her iPhone, but when my wife tries to view my prior purchases, she receives the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than <her Apple ID>."
    I hope Apple is reading this. I would be more than willing to help them on this one as this feature is one of the main reasons I put our family on iPhones.

    I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
    On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.
    After that, I closed settings, then I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store> click on the AppleID and Sign Out, even if it has the right AppleID in there. Then Sign In again using the AppleID of the person on that device. Again-- even if it has the right ID in there to start, still sign out and back in.
    See if they show up. If they don't show up still, try doing a restart (hold down power button and home button until it restarts).
    They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
    I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.

  • Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

    My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

  • "this itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account"

    I set up an iCloud family. Until now, everyone had their own iCloud account, and we had a separate iTunes ID (not an iCloud e-mail address) that all of our purchases were made under.
    So, I set up that Apple ID as the master account and added everyone's personal iCloud accounts as members.
    Then, I went into iTunes prefs and logged in as my iCloud account.
    When I go to the App store and go to Purchased, it says:
    "this itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account than <my iTunes Apple ID>." Then there is a Learn More link that takes me to my iCloud and shows my family group with the same Apple ID as the organizer.
    Does anyone have any idea what happened to cause it to think that I am not in the same family group?
    Thanks.

    Update...I now notice:
    Going to: App Store>Updates>Purchases:
    1)  The message “This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <her iCloud ID>...”  Is now showing up on my iPhone and can no longer see any of my purchases or hers. 
    2) The same message above is now showing on my iPad mini (it didn’t before).  But, I can still see both hers and my purchases on my iPad mini. 
    3) The message "This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <my iCloud ID>…” still showing on her iPhone and she still can’t see her or my purchases.
    iTunes Family Sharing still works fine.
    Note: If I Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store then log out of my Apple ID, then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases and log into my Apple ID from there, My purchases show up (not hers). I then toggle between Updates and Purchases and the message pops up and unable to see any purchases, again.  Same thing happens when I do it to her phone except her purchases show up (not mine).
    I emailed this update to Apple...waiting for a reply.
