I know what you mean about lack of "su" - here's one way to get round it: I run XP as a Restricted user. In Start -> Run I have "runas /user:[administrative user name] cmd" I get a prompt for a password and then I have a command promt running as root^H^H^H^Hadministrator
I am using w2k... this is, i cannot use that revolutionary and cutting edge technology to switch user in the middle of a sesion :-( ;-)
Revolutionary ;) Hmm... Anyway, you don't need WXP to use the runas command. It has been available since WinNT and can be used in W2K. C:\>runas RUNAS USAGE: RUNAS [/profile] [/env] [/netonly] /user: program /profile if the user's profile needs to be loaded /env to use current environment instead of user's. /netonly use if the credentials specified are for remote access only. /user should be in form USER@DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER program command line for EXE. See below for examples Examples:
runas /profile /user:mymachine\administrator cmd runas /profile /env /user:mydomain\admin "mmc %windir%\system32\dsa.msc" runas /env /user:user@domain.microsoft.com "notepad \"my file.txt\""
NOTE: Enter user's password only when prompted. NOTE: USER@DOMAIN is not compatible with /netonly. //Regards Tony ************************************ Tony Stohne mailto: tstohne@bredband.net ************************************
