Windows XP autostart process as administrator
- by Zulakis
I am looking for a way with which i can autostart a certain program on logon of a user with user-rights with administrator-rights.
I already tried using task scheduler but it didn't work out because you got to enter a username with format machine\user and our pxe-image-deployment-system automatically patches the machine names so the entered domain\user stopped working.
UPDATE:
the runas.exe command does not seem appropiate for this task, too.
If using /user:machinename\Administrator /savcred it is invalid after imaging.
What one user suggested was using .\Administrator or localhost\Administrator but both didn't work on my XP SP3 machines.
