Windows Task Scheduler and Linmited User

[gelöscht]

Hello,

Firstly I want to say thank you very much for SuRun. I really like the concept and the way it's implemented.

I do have a problem running a task in Windows Task Scheduler that is actually the updater for my AntiVirus software which needs to be run as an administrator. It's not possible for me to use the scheduler included with AntiVir, so I need to use Windows Task Scheduler.

This is what I have set to run in Windows Task Scheduler which works fine using a password in an Administrator account , but not in a Limited Account with the same credentials:

"C:\Program Files\Avira\Avira PersonalEdition Classic\preupd.exe"

I have added the executable itself and a shortcut with additional parameters to the SuRunners group which works fine. Is there anyway to apply SuRun to Windows Task Scheduler?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

AFAIK Task Scheduler is a service that directly starts programs at scheduled events.
To start something from Task Scheduler with elevated rights through SuRun, you need to create a new task with the limited user credentials (as you already did) and insert "surun " to the start of command line.

"SuRun C:\Program Files\Avira\Avira PersonalEdition Classic\preupd.exe"
or
"C:\Windows\SuRun.exe C:\Program Files\Avira\Avira PersonalEdition Classic\preupd.exe"

should work just fine.
