Access Administrative Account from Limited Account?
"J.C" wrote
I am using Windows XP with SP2. Is it possible to access Administrative account from Limited Account? I know I can use certain Program by clicking Run as command. But is there any way I can act as Administrator from my limited account. My friend, who is a Linux user says that in Linux there is no need to have separate Administrative account, as same account can be used as administrative or limited account as per requirement. Thanks. Either you run in an account with admin privileges (by logging into that account or into the built in Administrator account) or you run in an account without out it (i.e. limited). What exactly are you asking? What do you mean by access administrative account from the limited account. To login the built in Administrator account depends on whether you have XP Home or Pro, which you didn't specify. The built in account should not be used for normal activities. Use that as a fall back if something damages the other accounts. You should create an additional with admin privileges and whatever number of limited accounts you need. -- Rock [MS-MVP] |

Thanks. What your friend is probably talking about is from a terminal command, you can access an administrative command by typing; sudo command At this point you will be asked for a password. In Windows, you can achieve the same capability as you said by running the; runas command You would simply do the runas as the administrator (or any administrator account) and type the password for that account. -- Sincerely, C.Joseph Drayton, Ph.D. AS&T CSD Computer Services Please excuse the TEMPORARY web site Web site: http://csdcs.itgo.com/ E-mail: |
