Regedit Run As?

[Dillinger99]

Is it possible to do a regedit /S text.reg command with some sort of 'run as Administrator' switch?

So , you want to work in Registry from a non administrator user ?

Correct--I want to be able to run a batch script to do a regedit when a user logs in.

Wow, thats a thought! I may try to play with this later cause its something that I have never heard of. I know you can do the RUN AS command on a shortcut to the application, but I don't know about command lines.

Very Interesting post....!

OK,REGEDIT FROM COMMAND LINE
1.REGEDIT [/L:system] [/R:user] file_name1 to import registry file in RegEdit
2.REGEDIT [/L:system] [/R:user] /C file_name2 to create registry object from file

What key are you trying to modify?

Go to the command shell and type "runas /?".
However this will prompt for a password. It may be possible to use an input pipe for the password prompt through a batch file, however the admin password will have to be saved in cleartext.

If you are modifying HKCU, you shouldn't need administrator privileges.

I used to have a script that would modify HKCU to add Terminal Services shortcuts.

I'm trying to add an entry to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce key.

I'll try your runas /? suggestion. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
