naspinski's questions

I screwed up my Feed settings trying to do cross-project pushes. I think I know how to fix it, but I can't seem to get to a setting that I had changed in order to change it back. Long story short, I have inherited permissions that are blocking me, but I can't ge to the screen to un-set it:

Now these are set in a right side slide-out that has the option:

Only administrators and these users can create feeds

Which I believe is in Azure Artifacts settings according to all the documentation, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again. Can someone please help me un-set this!

In putty, I have the following:

• Session
  • hostname:username@azurecontainsersvc_mgmt.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com
  • port: 2200
• Connection>SSH>Tunnels L80 localhost:80
• Connection>SSH>Auth Private key: my_public_key.ppk

Ans when I connect, it asks me for my password, everything looks great, but I get access denied. I have tried running as admin with the same results.

Any ideas? I am lost - thank you!

Not sure if it matters, but I am trying to connect to a DC/OS cluster on Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-service/container-service-connect

If you open a command prompt with a runas command, you will see a window that shows

(Running as some_user)

In the title bar, but if you right click on cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator you will get a window that has:

Administrator cmd.exe

In the title bar. Oddly enough, these windows exhibit different behavior.

My question is how can I get the Administrator cmd.exe command prompt via command line? Or if it is even possible?

I have a strange problem here. I am trying to disable UAC via the command line (batch file) and by using REG.EXE (as it doesn't ask for UAC access itself). I have been able to create a shortcut (.lnk) with the target:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

If I run that as an administrator - there is no problem at all, it changes the registry. If I try to run that command via the command line itself (run as the exact same administrator), I get access denied.

Eventually, I want to move it to a batch script, but that should be no problem once I am able to run it on the command line. Any ideas? Thank you.

I am attempting to disable UAC via a batch file with a REGEDIT command, and everything works - but, I need to be able to do this without clicking. When I run the:

REGEDIT /S somefile.reg

It works fine, except requires and initial click to allow this command. Is there any way around this? I am (temporarily) disabling UAC with the registry edit, but until then it is enabled. Thank you.

Is it possible to run a batch script as an administer? We need this to be done without any user interaction, so there can't be any password prompt or UAC popups - is this possible?

I just built/installed Postgresql on my Ubuntu machine, and I am having trouble getting it to actually run, I keep getting the error.

I set up the server to run and output a logfile (exactly as in the documentation), it appears to work fine (running as 'su - postgres' who owns the pgsql directory):

postgres@ubuntu:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
[1] 2200

But then, I try to create a db, and I get this error:

postgres@ubuntu:~$ usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
-su: usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb: No such file or directory
[1]+  Exit 2                  /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data > logfile 2>&1

Any ideas of what I am missing? I have done this before - I am just confused right now...
