#394 Run as user - netonly

[kimstie]

I work in an environment with multiple domains without trust, and I run many prompts in different contexts. normally I start them by the command: runas /netonly /user:someuser@somedomain.local cmd
I would love a feature where you could click that the "Run as user", would be with the netonly parameter.

Hi,
You can try this version https://truck.it/p/YbeBZt4nnC
I added "Net only" option.

Hey, I tried the version you made, but I cannot seem to get it to work as intended, when using the net only option I get the following error:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Unable to create shared objects (reason:No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
)!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

You must specify the user like this : domain\user

UNC user names (user@domain) can't be used used
MSDN:
A trustee name can have any of the following formats:
...
A domain account, such as "domain1\xyz".
...

I can fix this by replacing the username from UNC to domain\user form if the username contains @.

I experimented a bit with this now. If I use the net only, with a domain with trust, the following will happen http://i.imgur.com/xY6mLmI.png The new prompt that pops out, is indeed running in the context specified in settings. This happens no matter what domain notation I use (user@domain or domain\user).

If I try to use it with a domain without trust, the "Unable to create shared object error" will appear. No matter what domain notation I use.

I do not know if it is even possible to do this in your app, but thanks a bunch for trying :D

Bonus info: I do not know how you are implementing this, but you should know that when you use the windows command "runas /netonly", then it does not validate the credentials when starting the prompt, hence why this is possible to a domain without trust.

[chrisz]

it is possible :-)
now at work, I can test with domains ...
I have fixed problems in the repository:
https://github.com/cbucher/console

I can build a beta in few days (I am on the move).

[kimstie]

That's cool, no rush. I'll wait for the new beta, I don't know how to compile myself :)

[chrisz]

this beta should work: https://truck.it/p/vnyHVYgRE5

Thanks a bunch cbucher, it works like a charm! Great feature, for me at least :)
