While in my CIS 2149 class, I started to wonder if there is a command that can be run in the windows command promp to login temporarily as an administrator when logged in as a generic user, like in Linux there is a command...I think it is su then the admin password or something similar to that? Anyone know if this is possible in the command prompt?

Hey O(V)eGA_l2el) got the answer for you on that.....

 

just hold down shift and right click the program icon you want to use

and click "Run As"

 

this will give you a logon prompt to log in as any user you want

I see. Thanks

Is there any way to do that in dos, other than the "run as" and "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and logging in as a different user?

[Hades25]

if so i dont know sorry....someone else may know if you can do it.....dont think you can though

there is a way to do it in dos. but in was a little strange. it changed your network rights to the servers, but not workstation rights (at least that was the case in NT/2000). I'll have to dig thru some notes later on and try to find it, cuz it was part of the MCSE training course had to know it at one time though it wasn't on any of the tests.

Cool, I would like to know whenever you have a chance to find the answer. I am getting ready to take the MCSA exam at the end of this quarter.
