In a 2K3 domain environment with XP Pro SP2 on the clients...

I just wanted to know how I could log onto a hidden share via the run command...

For example if I go up to a machine which a member of staff is logged on to and I need to grab something from a share which they do not have rights to... if I simply enter the name of the share and hit go it correctly tells me to go away! How do I put in a username suffix first then log onto the share to save me having to log them off, me log on etc etc etc!

Thanks

Type "\\servername\sharename\" You'll then get a logon prompt.

HTH

EDIT: Or "\\servername\sharepath\sharename\" if the share is not in the root directory.

 

Sorry Jellyman, I misinterpreted your question. I'm not sure if you use the \\computername\sharename command locally, you get the logon prompt. You do if you do it remotely definitely, which is a simpler solution than walking over to the other PC.

 

You do.

Unless you are logged onto the machine that you are at as a domain admin, in which case you get straight in.



EDIT: Oh Cr@p, I misinterpreted the q as well!

 

Just to clarify,

You are at a local machine, logged in as a user.

You want to access a hidden share on the local PC to which the currently logged on user doesn't have rights.

Is this correct?

 

I'm not sure, but this may help.

The syntax would be I think:

runas /[email protected] \\localcompname\localcompshare

 

Simon, it's obviously way too early in the morning for the two of us!

 

correct syntax is

Code:

runas /user:<domain/computername>\<user> <program command>

so to run explorer to a file share

Code:

runas /user:<domain>\<user> "%systemroot%\explorer \\<computer>\<share>"

Note also that user can be defined as

Code:

<user>@<domain>
