I need to read a file on a remote server, however I dont have permissions to do so. If I use another account with elevated rights, I can. I would like to run the script from anywhere with the credentials built into the script (accepting the risks).
If you just need access to the file you can establish credentials an any manner. If you don't have a drive mapped you can use the net use command or the Get-Credential commandlet. Once you establish access with a valid user name you should be fine unless you need some type of elevate privileges on your box

Changing registry without admins rights windows 10
What would be the best way add an entry XXX on windows registry with password
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\XXX
current permission for everyone are Read.
Tried this :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\forcerunasinvoker]
#="Run as user without UAC privilege elevation"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\forcerunasinvoker\command]
#="cmd /min /C \"set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start \"\" \"%1\"\""
Coming up with Registry error:
Cannot import RegFix.reg: not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operations.
If it cant be done any other option, using powershell, or an executable file, without revealing the password.
I would suggest looking into this link: http://woshub.com/run-program-without-admin-password-and-bypass-uac-prompt/
You can open registry even if it is admin protected with a batch file that runs registry with the RUNASINVOKER compatibility mode, also in this link is a registry file that allows you to run things as admin without UAC coming up. To change elements in the registry it requires administrator privileges since it affects the system configuration like how System32 cannot be edited without administrator permissions.
You cannot write to HKLM or HKCR without admin rights. There is no workaround
Ken white is correct under normal circumstances but if you use the registry file in the link (which you need administrators rights to import to registry) you can bypass UAC and run registry as admin allowing you to edit the registry.
Here is my scenario:
I have several computers all on the same domain. Users authenticate against the domain to log into their workstations.
All the local Administrator passwords on the workstations are the same.
What I want to do is execute script remotely using Invoke-Command so that I can create balloon-tip notifications on the users desktop. The problem seems to be that I have to execute the remote script as the local Administrator on each workstation, but I want the balloon tip to popup on the desktop of the logged in user.
Is there a way to do this?
I'm running PowerShell 3.0, but most of the target machines would be 2.0.
I did not find any reference to user related commands for the jenkins-cli tool.
I need this to automate deployment.
Any comeback?
To use jenkins internal database simply use the following command.
echo 'jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.securityRealm.createAccount("user1", "password123")' | \
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ groovy =
This will create user=user1 with password=password123
If you have any existing user and have restricted anonymous access to your jenkins, you can specify the username and password with
--username "user_name" and --password "password"
Maybe you don't want to use Jenkins' internal user database at all. There are a host of "Authentication and User Management" plugins.
If you like MySQL, there is a MySQL authenticator (it reads a table of users and passwords), and your "adduser" command could do an insert on that table.
If you like flat files, there is a "Script Security Realm", where you can authenticate with an arbitrary script. Write a file with user and password combos in your favorite format, write an "adduser" script that writes to it, and write an auth script that reads the file and determines whether to authenticate the user.
You can also hook up to an LDAP server, Active Directory, Atlassian Crowd, Unix user accounts (pw_auth), or whatever authentication your application server uses (if it's running off of a Tomcat server, for instance, you can tell Jenkins to let Tomcat authenticate users, and set up Tomcat to do it however you want.
If you specify in more detail what you are trying to do people here may help you better. That said, here are some pointers:
All CLI commands are available via http://[jenkins-server]/cli. What's not found there is not available via CLI. You can specify user name / password via --username and --password (or --password-file) options in CLI commands.
Another option for Jenkins automation is to use Python JenkinsAPI.
You can also use tools like wget and curl to perform certain actions (such as starting a build). There you may use user-specific tokens instead of username/password.
Here's another link that can be helpful.
I have a problem with running RunAs mode in TestComplete7.
I use:
var p = TestedApps.MyApp.RunAs("domain", "user", "password");
but without success.
I get this error:
**************************************************
Unable to run "MyApp" under the Domain\User account.
Make sure that the password and other parameters are valid and you have sufficient rights to run processes under another user account.
**************************************************
I'm running TestComplete in Administrator mode and I've done everything as explained in TestComplete Help.
Check out this TestComplete support article for troubleshooting tips. Some key points from this article:
Is the Secondary Logon service running?
Are the domain, user name and password valid and spelled correctly?
Try Windows runas command with an arbitrary application (e.g. Notepad) and exactly the same credentials and see if it works.
Is the password non-empty? (Accounts with empty passwords aren't supported for RunAs in TestComplete.)
Does this account have permissions for actually executing the application?
I want to run aa remote process (winword.exe more specifically) from a remote machine using Powershell 2.0. One requirement is that the process is run by a non-admin user account. I'm able to run winword.exe if the user is part of the local administrator group on the remote machine, however when I remove it from the admin group, it fails - I get a winword.exe cannot be found error (32bit winword running on a 64bit 2008 server).
I've tried adjusting the PSSession configuration by granting the non-admin user account more elevated priveleges but it still fails:
Set-PSSessionConfiguration Microsoft.Powershell -ShowSecurityDescriptorUI
Is there something I'm missing here? Or does the user account explicitly require admin level priveleges on the server? Although PS tools would be a nice alternative, I would prefer using PS.
Have a look to the "Understanding Session Configurations" paragrph in the Administrator's guide to PowerShell Remoting from PowerShell.com.
