From: John Beckett "Geo" wrote in message news:: > Yeah, I could do that if I wanted to type in my password 100 times a day. I know I'm not going to teach you a new trick, but you should realise what I'm saying: - Log on as a domain user (not admin). - Do a runas to run cmd.exe and enter domain admin/password. - Leave cmd running all day. - In any window other than the above cmd you are a user. - In the cmd window you are a domain admin. Later, say you need to reset someone's password. Click on the cmd window and enter dsa.msc (or mmc.exe then add the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) snap-in). You are NOT prompted for a password, but now you are running ADUC as a domain admin. Same applies to pretty well all admin tools.
