W7 user right from the command line?

Hi All,

I just installed W7 beta in a virtual machine.
I want to run "slmgr -rearm" from the command line.
But, get tagged with "Access Denied: the requested
action required elevated privileges".

Under Linux, this is solved with the "su"
(switch user) command. For instance:
su todd -c "whoami"
will prompt for Todd's password and run the
"whoami" (todd, duh) command.

Does W7 have anything similar? If not, how
do I run "slmgr -rearm" as administrator?

Many thanks,
-T

Try running the command window in elevated mode. I think if you right-click
on the shortcut for cmd and choose "Run as administrator" you'll be ok.
There's another way, but at the moment I can't think of it, sorry.

Hi Steve,

Great link. Thank you!

This is not a Windows 7 newsgroup. Close observation on your part would
reveal to you that it is a Windows Vista newsgroup.

Do you think that Frankie Crankie is Da Jerk?


Do you believe that spanky de monkey is really Spanky Da Baboon and is
also Da LambChop?

Do you believe that Da Jerk went out with Da LambShank, Da LambChop's
daddy) and that is why Da Jerk is mentoring Da LambChop?

Wow, now Frank is calling himself capin' crunch and an idiot. I have to
agree with that.

Yeah, MS wants to make sure they can censor you.

I could not figure out how to get the parameter (-rearm) added to the
right click method. Any way to elevate and add a parameter?
