in reply to Pass expected input to Windows program

Hi. If you do not need the output from your runas program, you could try opening an output filter to the command, then printing the password to it:

open(PROGRAM,"| runas /user:username command");
print PROGRAM "password\n";

    It didn't work for me. I tried this: 
    open(PROGRAM, '| runas /user:username  "net localgroup administrators 
+%username%@%userdnsdomain% /ADD"');
print PROGRAM "password\n";

    This is the output:

    Enter password for username:RUNAS ERROR: Unable to accept input
