Run Active Directory Admin Center as another user
- by dunxd
I am trying to run Active Directory Admin Center (dsac.exe) on Windows 7 as another user by means of creating a shortcut, rather than having to Shift+Right click and specify the user.
On Windows XP I could create a runas shortcut like this (forget for a moment that dsac.exe does not exist in Windows XP):
runas /user:DOMAIN\user dsac.exe
When I run this on Windows 7, the cmd style windows pops up and asks for the password for DOMAIN\user, but I get the following message:
Attempting to start dsac.exe as user "DOMAIN\user" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - dsac.exe
740: The requested operation requires elevation.
How do I get Windows 7 to automatically run dsac.exe as a specified user? I'm happy to fill in a password prompt for the specified user, but would be even happier if there was a solution that cached the password, so I didn't have to enter it more than once a day.
