There are 3rd party tools like psexec (sysinternals.com) that will allow you to run as local system.
You could shell out to execute it from within you PERL App. - Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erik Felton Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 12:47 PM To: Perl-Win32 Subject: RE: run a process as System account Hello, My first thought was to use the 'runas' command: runas /user:MyMachineName\SYSYEM cmd However this prompts for a password. After poking around google, and consulting the resident Windows guru, the SYSTEM user does not have a password. And, according to the guru, the only way to run as SYSTEM (without making a service) is to use the 'at' command. To echo previous suggestions I would suggest running the at command with now+1 minute to open a command prompt. Then just leave this command prompt around all the time and run perl scripts from inside of it.

You could easily schedule the job to run in the v. near future from your parent script, and maybe write a lockfile that your child could remove when done, or use a loop with WMI and Win32_Process to wait for your child to appear and disappear. Not very pretty but it's the best I can think of at the moment. Maybe MSDN will tell you more... Sorry I couldn't be more help!

And further more the command I want to execute has to be executed immediatly. Is it possible to use LogonAsUser and CreateProcessAsUser for System account?
