stinkywea Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 OK, trying to do a simple 'ipconfig/release' and I get the following: "The requested operation requires elevation." I think I'm setup as an admin, but with all this crazy user access stuff I don't really know. And I'm also getting the following from the prompt too: 'bcedit/set nointegritychecks ON' and with this I get this one "The boot configuration data could not be opened. Access is denied."I know it's probably simple, so any help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyo Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 browse to c:\windows\system32 folder and right click on cmd.exe and select "run as administrator". Even though you are an administrator vista limits what you can do unless you run as the administrator user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Right-click on the icon in accessories for the command prompt and choose "Run as administrator". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddie Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 This is much faster:1) Hit "the button formally known as Start".2) Type in "cmd" in the Search box.3) Right-click on "cmd" that appears in the results and click "Run as administrator".Agree to run as admin, and have a nice day.

cluberti Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Let me get this straight - you want a user to disable a huge chunk of the OS security model, just so a command prompt can run elevated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordac85 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Actually from what I've seen, UAC has no bearing on being able to run with elevated privledges. I disabled it cuz that's the only way that I know of to kill those annoying popups. (IE7 may have a better popup blocker, but now I'm being inundated from the OS!)I tried the Windows version of su by creating a link that uses something like "runas /noprofile /user:computername\Administrator cmd.exe" but I got an error message like so:RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd.exe1327: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.So is there some inherent policy that restricts the actual utility they put in place for this? I don't always want to right-click or log off and log back in as the local admin. Why can't it just be a simple thing to configure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Well, unless you enable it, on a default install of Vista the administrator account is disabled. That may affect your ability to use the administrator account via runas. If it is enabled but you have not configured a password, it would also not allow you to use the account as a runas target.

HSK2840 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) WinKey + R and then CMD [enter] will create a prompt with admin rights.Anything you start in the "Run..." dialog is created with admin rights.

Mordac85 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks cluberti, I didn't know they disabled the admin account by default. Works like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaviewer Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The quickest way to get a command prompt in an elevated administrator mode is :[windows key] > type "cmd" (not quotes) > press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
