I have a batch file that creates another user using this code:
net user /add TheAccount passWORD
net localgroup administrators TheAccount /add
And I did this so that my program would later run commands elevated without the UAC popping up, because it could use its own account...
But I hit a roadblock when I noticed that RunAs doesn't allow elevation.
I really need to be able to run a program elevated without any third-party tools that I would have to include.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for all the help, but I found an answer with Microsoft Psexec.exe with the -h option or the
-s option.

I have a Python code that finally generates a file and it should automatically run that file as admin. I did search and found that I should use runas program, but it requires admin password.
Since I have not set any administrator password, so it should not ask for password in order to work.
The script is route add -p IP to change routing table.
There are multiple PCs in the office and all PCs have one user like saeed, david, etc. and administrator of course which has not been used yet.
The command I use is the following that asks for admin password:
C:\Users\Saeed\Desktop> Runas /profile /user:administrator ips.cmd
Enter the password for administrator:
Attempting to start new-ips.cmd as user "DESKTOP-9PR0R3P\administrator" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - new-ips.cmd
1326: The user name or password is incorrect.
Is that possible to run run as passwordless?
I should mention that if with my current PC, I right click on ips.cmd and Run As Administrator, it does not prompt any password and runs the file.
Using this command works for me:
powershell.exe "Start-Process powershell -verb runAs"
I have logged in with one user in my system. Like, userA. Now, I have opened command prompt window with administrator privileges. In same Administrator command prompt window need to run my EXE file for userA without the password.
I have tried "RunAs" command but it will ask for Password.
Is there any other alternative, where I can solve my problem.
I have logged in with one user in my system. Like, userA.
Ok...
In same Administrator command prompt window need to run my EXE file for userA without the password.
So you are already logged in as userA why would you need to enter the passsword again?
If you need to run something as as a different user you can create a batch file and set up a scheduled task to run it with their credentials, but don't actually give it a schedule. When you are then logged in as a differnt user you can call the scheduled task and it will run as the user it is associated with.
I found several answers on the web, but not really what I was searching for.
The issue is as follows:
When restoring a file with "Networker", the ACLs of the file are the same ones as when the file was backed up, regardles of inheritance in the folder the file is restored to. Meaning the inheritence of ACL does not affect the newly restored file.
This leaves me with the problem that only 3 Accounts have the right to alter the ACL.
The user, the file belongs to
The domain Admins
The system account
To solve the issue I would like to run an automated script fixing the ACL and activating the correct inheritance.
The system user for the script has to be one of the three.
The User is changing and thefore not a valid choice, also I dont want to leave any domain admin credentials nor give domain admin rights to a service account.
This leaves me with the system account to do the job and here comes the question:
How do I execute a task in powershell under system account credentials?
I tried
$username = "NT Authority\System"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist #($username, $password)
Since the password is an empty I can not really create credentials with it.
The name of the account in all locales is .\LocalSystem. The name,
LocalSystem or ComputerName\LocalSystem can also be used. This account
does not have a password.

So now I am a little bit confused as to how I can get this to work.
Edit:
The file system runs on EMC and is not a real Windows File System, but just kinda hooked onto a Linux system. So there is no local administrator account.
TL;DR
I want to inherit ACL Permissions on files using the system account with powershell, how?
https://github.com/mkellerman/Invoke-CommandAs
Made a function to Invoke-Command against local/remote computer using provided credentials or SYSTEM. Returns PSObjects, handles network interruptions and resolves any Double-Hop issues.
Try it out let me know if this resolves your issues.
If you're ok installing a (very useful) 3rd party program, you can try the following. It's a portable .zip, no real installation.
Run as administrator:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>nircmd.exe elevatecmd runassystem c:\windows\System32\cmd.exe
starts a new cmd window:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.418]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>whoami
nt authority\system
C:\WINDOWS\system32>
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
Domain Admins get access via the local Administrators group. Local Administrators can take ownership of any local object and subsequently grant new permissions to that object.
Running something like this as an administrator should do what you want:
takeown /f C:\some\file_or_folder /a /r /d:y
icacls C:\some\file_or_folder /reset /t /c /q
Never use the SYSTEM account for things like this.
Is there any single line command for Run As Different User in Windows 7.
I am using following command but then it ask for password
runas /user:USER-NAME "C:\full\path\of\Program.exe"
Is there any way to supply password also in above line ? Actually i am launching application from other application so I don't want any user interaction But in above command it ask user for PASSWORD
PsExec in the MS SysInternals suite:
psexec -user Administrator -p Passwd "xcopy a.xml \\server_over_there\c$\A.xml"
In case the local user is NOT what you need and a specific DOMAIN user is, use:
/user Username in form USER#DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER
(USER#DOMAIN is not compatible with /netonly)
I am trying to view the user privileges using the command prompt in Windows.
User account & User privileges such as:
SeBatchLogonRight
SeDenyBatchLogonRight
SeInteractiveLogonRight
SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight
SeServiceLogonRight
SeDenyServiceLogonRight
SeNetworkLogonRight
SeDenyNetworkLogonRight
I tried using ntrights but it's not working. I can't use any tool as I am trying to create an automated script for an OS audit.
You can use the following commands:
whoami /priv
whoami /all
For more information, check whoami # technet.
Mark Russinovich wrote a terrific tool called AccessChk that lets you get this information from the command line. No installation is necessary.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb664922.aspx
For example:
accesschk.exe /accepteula -q -a SeServiceLogonRight
Returns this for me:
IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool
IIS APPPOOL\Classic .NET AppPool
NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES
By contrast, whoami /priv and whoami /all were missing some entries for me, like SeServiceLogonRight.
I'd start with:
secedit /export /areas USER_RIGHTS /cfg OUTFILE.CFG
Then examine the line for the relevant privilege. However, the problem now is that the accounts are listed as SIDs, not usernames.
Go to command prompt and enter the command,
net user <username>
Will show your local group memberships.
If you're on a domain, use localgroup instead:
net localgroup Administrators or net localgroup [Admin group name]
Check the list of local groups with localgroup on its own.
net localgroup
Use whoami /priv command to list all the user privileges.
