titleLaunching ADUC via Batch Script

A batch script can be created that allows a Specialist to launch the application with their OnePurdue account, instead of right-clicking and signing in as another user.

Creating the Batch Script

• Open Notepad.

• Copy and paste the information below into Notepad:

cls

cd C:\WINDOWS\system32

runas /user:onepurdue\******** "mmc %systemroot%\system32\dsa.msc"

• In Notepad, replace ******** with the name of the Specialist's secure account.

NOTE: Make sure there is a space after the name of the Specialist's secure account.

• In the “Save as type” drop down menu, choose “All Files (*.*)”.

• For the file name, type in “onepurdueAD.bat”. Save the new file to any location you want on your computer.

Using the Batch Script

When double-clicking the new .bat file where it has been saved, a command window will launch and ask for the password for the current user's secure account. Type the password and hit 'Enter'.

NOTE: You will not see the characters of the password as they are typed.
