How to run batch file (As administrator) from Window Service - windows

I have created a windows service, its running fine.
Now I would like to run a batch file as Administrator using windows service, because without administrator privileges it doesn't return any output.
So please let me know how can I do that. When I run directly using right click, run as administrator its working fine. Batch file as follows:
Runas.exe /noprofile /user:"Laxmilal Menaria" "lm.exe"
Thanks,
Laxmilal Menaria

How to run a bat script on multiple windows servers at once?

I am trying to run a .bat script that uninstall 32/64 bit agents and re-install 64-bit agents on almost 100 window servers.
Can you please guide me how this can be done?
I already tried running for one server to test
psexec \\<windows server> -u <username> -p <password> <command>
But fails with error
COULD NOT START PSEXESVC service on <windows server>
Do we need such service on all machines? Please suggest any other way?
PSEXEC is not a standard windows feature /service.
If you wish to use PS Exec you will need to install it on all of the relevant systems first.
Otherwise, your options are:
CMD:
A) Does the "Agent" Installer you are using allow you to install / uninstall to a given server in it's command line syntax?
If so utilize that.
B) Put the Installer in central location (the Active Directory Netlogon Folder is great for this) along with a CMD script to run the uninstall and install processes.
Then Use SCHTasks to connect to each server and create a Scheduled task that runs using an administrative Username and password for that server, and set it to run with the highest privileges, set the action to be the path to the CMD script in netlogon that you have previously tested and nwo is working, set the task to run 1 minute in the future, or on demand (If on demand you then run schtasks again to execute the task).
Powershell:
Work on getting a working CMD Script to run and use Invoke Command to run that command script on the remote systems. As in Option B from CMD options you can keep the CMD script and Agent installer in the netlogon folder.

run batch script after windows server restart

I am trying to run a script to startup some services after windows reboot.
I have tried one method: copying shortcuts of batch script in shell:startup folder. which eventually will start the scripts automatically but someone has to login to the system.
I am thinking about the possible ways to run the script after server restart without logon to the server.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Create a Windows scheduled task and set it to run on system startup:

Executing a .CMD script from Control-M is not working

We have a .CMD script that we are triggering from Control-M.
A main.cmd is being called from Control-M. This script is run as 'accnt_svc' service account which we also configured in Control-M. Prior to setting up in Control-M, we testing this running fine when ran from command prompt (as administrator) and via Windows Task Scheduler being run as the 'acct_svc' service account.
When running in Control M, the log shows error saying a subscript (say sub.cmd is being called from main.cmd) saying the sub.cmd is invalid.
We checked the permissions and they both have the same settings.
We tried another script, this time we created a wrapper which 'calls' the main script. This worked fine.
Please check following wrapper:
SET V_CMDDRV=E:
%V_CMDDRV%
CD %V_CMDDIR%
CALL CALL %V_CMDDIR%\main.cmd
When we create a Main_Wrapper.cmd calling the main.cmd this works fine.
May I know why Control-M behaves this way?
Thanks
When issuing a command via Control-M it will by default run from your run as users home directory. From the output you've attached it looks like main.cmd might need to be run from E: instead of the %HOMEPATH% of the acct_svc service account.

Run jar file without admin rights

I have a runnable jar file, that I start with
java -jar myFile.jar
on Windows. A customer stated that he had problems starting the application (which is this jar file wrapped into an executable). I have the suspicion that it has something to do with admin rights. So I'd like to run my jar file without admin rights for testing purposes (because this way I get the System.out/err which helps greatly for debugging).
I realize that I can just create a non-admin account and start the application there, but I'd like to know if there is a way to specifically start a jar from an admin account so that it doesn't have admin rights in the console. Or alternatively: Is there a way to open up a console that has no admin rights from an admin account?
The customer uses Windows XP, so this is the operating system that I can use. (Although if you know something in a newer Windows like Win7, I appreciate it if you would tell me too).
EDIT: To clarify: I am looking for something like this
java -jar -runWithoutAdminRights myFile.jar
or
start /runWithoutAdminRights java -jar myFile.jar
or a way to open up a non-admin console from an admin account.
The Runas command definitely looks like the way to go.
I believe the way to go about this would be to first check the trust level options available to you:
runas /showtrustlevels
You should get something like the following:
C:\Windows\system32>runas /showtrustlevels
The following trust levels are available on your system:
0x20000 (Basic User)
You would then take the value for "Basic User" and run something like the following to start java:
runas /trustlevel:0x20000 "java -jar myFile.jar"
You can follow the below steps:
Log in as the Administrator
Open the command line
Go to System32 folder (cd C:/Windows/System32)
execute: runas /user:computer_domain_name\user1 cmd
You will be asked to provide the user1's password. Afterwards a new command line opens with the user1's rights.
I have tried it and it worked.
In conclusion you can write a very simple batch which performs the steps 2,3,4 automatically so that when you click it, a command line will open with the rights of another user.
I hope this helps.
edit registry is best way to run jar file with administrator automatically.
is easy if you have setup for java application.
go to following path in registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
create a key(String Value) with following specification:
ValueName: java path+javaw.exe(example c:\program files\java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe)
ValueData: "WINXPSP3 RUNASADMIN"
Now All Jar Files Runs to Administartor

Permissions Elevation for Windows 7?

Ive got a java app which needs to execute a driver installer exe file. On Linux we type "gksudo myCommand". Is there a way to elevate permissions from Windows command line?
You may run every application in windows with a different user e.g. Administrator. But the user who executes this command needs to have the credentials to do so.
Edit.:
In advance you can lookup the User Account Control (UAC) which is available in Windows 7 and Vista if it is possibly an alternative for you.
I decided to deploy an executable binary onto the system which calls the jar. This way the user can right click and run as administrator... That didn't work... SO I kept looking... Check this out..
Elevate.exe.. It's basically like Windows GKSudo!!!!
http://www.robotronic.de/elevate.html
So... I packaged the 32bit exe into my program and deploy it, then run it as necessary.
You can use runas command like runas /user:Administrator myCommand (it requires the users to type password).
You can also use Start-Process cmdlet like Start-Process -Verb runas myCommand in PowerShell (it requires the users to click the UAC dialog).
