Net Command <runas>

newhouse1390 · 06-02-2006, 02:40 PM

I am trying to use this command to connect to another users local account on a networked system. When I enter in this command it opens the computer management console of my local computer. Any ideas?

runas /netonly /user:NW-W2K-SAV-01/JPGR "mmc %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc"

Didn't know you could use Runas like that. Pretty cool. I will have to try this out tommorow.

Does it matter which slash you use before the Username. All the documentation I read says you need to use a Backslash.

I would think you could perform this same task with Sysinternals Psexec program.
