    yes, but that involved using the run as to run it as a service... so what you could do is create a vb app that runs the batch file, sendkeys the password, sendkeys enter, and then it should work on its own right?

    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.

    Thank you, I appreciate the idea.


    That might work, I will try it tomorrow. I tried piping the password to the runas command at the beginning of the batchfile to no avail . . .

    echo <password>|runas /user:adminstrator regedit /e update.reg
    . . . but the runas command didn't like the pipe to well!

    I will try send keys and see if that can do it. If anyone has any other ideas, I am all ears.

    Hmmm, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get that to work, then I read this . . .

    Note You can't use SendKeys to send keystrokes to an application that is not designed to run in Microsoft Windows. Sendkeys also can't send the PRINT SCREEN key {PRTSC} to any application.
    . . . Any other ideas?

    I thought I would bump this to the top to give it new life before it dies

    I tried NTRIGHT.EXE but must also be logged on as an administrator. I need something like ntrights.exe that lets me enter the admin password!

    I desperatly need an NT hacker!! Help!!

    There's a CreateProcessAsUser API Call. I haven't tried to use it, check www.allapi.net , etc.

    v too r facing the same situation...

    We have an application in 3-tier, with VB 6 as front end and DLLs (i.e COM+ components) also in VB6
    and Oracle 8.1.5 as Back end for database.
    This application runs under windows 2000 environment with around 500 active users.

    Each time the dlls r modified it needs to be registered on each and every client.

    Currently vr asking the end users to log on locally as local administrator and register.

    Hope a solution for ur prob will also help us...
