Sorry about the delay in replying.
I cannot find a way of using runas to escalate the security to allow
the administrator to change network connection settings without
logging off the user.
I cannot use runas to run ncpa.cpl as it is not a win32 application.
control.exe is but it wont run under runas.
Do you know of a way to either do the network settings changes or run
control.exe under runas.
Regards, Major.

Using runas to run control.exe as administrator does not do

Anyone any ideas how I may debug this problem?

Mr Major Thorburn said:Wes, runas is enabled and it does work for most exe files but does not
work
for control.exe.
I wanted it to work for control.exe because there is no runas option on
the
network components in control panel.
I wanted to know why control.exe is not behaving as expected.
Is this a bug or by design?
Any MVPs out there wish to contribute to this?
