Hello. How can i execute a "runas" cmd command through code.
The thing is all my commands work fine, but the one with runas gives error. I have to execute the command as Domain Aministrator on a remote pc. It should work fine even to open cmd prompt for inserting the password. Thanks for the help

Please find code below.

ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
   {
       RedirectStandardError = true,
       RedirectStandardOutput = true,
       UseShellExecute = false,
       CreateNoWindow = true,
       FileName = "ABC.exe",
       Arguments = "/user:Administrator \"cmd /K " + command + "\""
   };

the fact is i dont execute an exe file, but directly the cmd command
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "runas /user:" + domain.Text + @"\" + utente.Text + "SC \\" + txtParameter.Text + "start EmpirumRC_Service";

the question is:
1. Can i hardcode the password inside the command?
or
2. Can i open a cmd prompt for inserting the password?

Thanks in advance

Solution 2

Try this

C#

Process p = new Process();
           ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("CMD");
           startInfo.Verb = "runas";
           p.StartInfo = startInfo;
           p.Start();
