I have get_data.vbs located in C:/test/source/. I've created run.bat file in C:/test/bin.
I'm able to run vbs script when I put the following in bat file:
cscript ../source/get_data.vbs
Q: Why it doesn't work when I use runas command:
runas /user:domain\username "cscript \"../source/get_data.vbs""
If I put full path, it works without any issues:
runas /user:domain\username "cscript \"C:/test/source/get_data.vbs""
Thanks in advance
It didn't work because runas is started on its current directory %windir%\System32 and there is no /source/get_data.vbs there.
If you want to make sure of this, try this code:
start /separate runas /user:domain\username "cscript \"../source/get_data.vbs""
You will see on title of the Window that opened something like C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe

I need to create a batch file that will open cmd.exe (as a administrator) with these lines:
cd C:\Program Files\Putty
cd C:\Program Files\Putty>psftp -i XXXXXXXXX.ppk xxxx_test#111.111.111.11 -b C:\UPLOAD\upload.ftp
Can anyone help me?
DoStuff.bat
#echo off
runas /user:%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME% "cmd.exe /K \"cd C:\Program Files\Putty\" & psftp -i XXXXXXXXX.ppk xxxx_test#111.111.111.11 -b C:\UPLOAD\upload.ftp"
runas will let you run a command as Administrator (you may need to change the domain/user to match your system, and enter a password).
Running cmd.exe /K will run the following commands.
The quotes around the commands need to be escaped with \"
I'm having a hard time seeing the difficulty.
Can you explain what you tried, and why it didn't work?
I made a .bat file which is supposed to run Thunderbird minimized.
Here's what I put in it so far:
start /min "" C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"Mozilla Thunderbird"\thunderbird.exe runas /user:Administrator
I tried several tests:
- Removing /min
- Adding the runas option for administrator rights
- Adding the first empty quotes after start
- Writing the whole path into quotes
- ...etc.
Everything that happens is the .bat launches, but nothing furthermore happens.
I have no error in the CMD window.
Why isn't it working ??
My purpose is to put that .bat in startup folder so that Thunderbird launches minimized on startup.
I used to use an extension (MinimizeOnStartup) for Thunderbird, but it's no longer compatible with latest version and I couldn't manage to find any alternative.
I read through here, it wasn't enough to help:
A batch file to minimize other applications
Can you help me?
Thank you.
Using Windows 10.
Try the following (modify it accordingly)
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
start /min thunderbird.exe runas /user:Administrator
A solution posted on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/bnt6u3/ive_created_a_small_script_to_minimize/ ...
This is Windows only. You'll need NirCMD for this. NirCMD will trigger the "Minimize" Event after we've started Thunderbird. Get it here: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
The script:
START "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
timeout /T 3 /nobreak
"nircmd.exe" win min process "thunderbird.exe"
I want to run a batch script as Administrator which, in turn, starts another batch script (start "title" /b /wait), but with current user's privilege.
Is this possible? What's the best way to do it?
Or how can I get the current logged in user name?
The command you want is runas - this command runs batchfile with the domain and username of the currently logged in user (you could also hardcode the domain and username if you wanted a specific user):
runas /noprofile /user:%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME% C:\batchfile.bat
The runas command requires an external program as the last argument so it doesn't handle built in commands like dir or copy. But you can run a built in command like copy with:
runas /noprofile /user:%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME% "cmd /c copy C:\source.txt C:\dest.txt"
You can also run things as Administrator like this:
runas /noprofile /user:Administrator "cmd /c copy C:\file.txt C:\Windows\System"

Please help and have any tips or any good material.
Use RUNAS command for this purpose like below. See help using runas /? in command prompt

I want to write simple Batch file will click on the batch file
I should go to my directory path should be D:\DS\Install
At present i am doing every 1hr go to
RUN command and typing to cmd and connect to D:\DS\Install
Instead of this I want short cut option.. :-)
If I understand your question correctly,
You want a shortcut on desktop which will open a command prompt and change directory to D:\DS\Install
This is pretty straight forward:
Go to C:\windows\system32 and copy cmd.exe to D:\DS\Install folder
Now right click on the cmd.exe in D:\DS\Install folder and send it to desktop create shortcut.
You will have a shortcut on desktop which will take you to the required folder everytime..
Just FYI... cmd.exe will always open from the directory where it is placed.
Just create a shortcut in your desktop, and when asked for the location, type this command
cmd.exe /k "cd /d "d:\ds\install""
This shortcut will call cmd to execute the cd to change the drive/folder and keep the window open to continue working with it.
You can also make a batch file called ds.bat and put it in c:\windows or any other folder that is on the path.
You can then use the WIN+R hotkey and type ds and enter.
#echo off
cd /d "d:\ds\install"
cmd /k
#echo off
cd /d "d:\ds\install"
cmd /k
