I need to run tscon.exe 0 /dest:console
remotely = not manually on Windows7 as an administrator. More info here How to use tscon on Windows7?
I did my research and
- OPTION 1 - runas
for user root (no password) on computer yogurt works
C:\>runas /user:yogurt\root cmd
Enter the password for yogurt\root:
Attempting to start cmd as user "yogurt\root" ...
for user administrator (I thought the the password is blank too) on computer yogurt doesn't work. I am asked for password, hit the enter and
C:\>runas /user:yogurt\administrator cmd
Enter the password for yogurt\administrator:
Attempting to start cmd as user "yogurt\administrator" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd
1327: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwo
rds not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.
- OPTION 2 - setting properties of a batch file so it always runs as administrator. The 'privilege level' section is greyed out for me under Compatibility level. So I am not able to tick the check box
Run this program as an administrator
