RunAsRole Issues

• If you use the “RunAsRole.exe /wait” command to run a Python script, the

  input/output cannot be redirected for versions of Python below 3.0.0. (Ref:

  45061a)

• The Run As Role menu is not available on the start screen in Windows 8 or

  Windows 2012 or later because Microsoft doesn’t support any custom context

  menu on the start screen. User has to go to the Windows desktop in order to

  launch an application using Run As Role context menu. (Ref: 35487a)

• When running “RunAsRole.exe /wait sc.exe” with no argument provided to

  sc.exe, sc.exe will prompt

  • Would you like to see help for the QUERY and QUERYEX commands? [ y | n ]:
  • Typing ‘y’ or ‘n’ doesn’t do anything because the input cannot be successfully redirected to sc.exe. (Ref: 47016b)

• It is not recommended to change zone via Run As Role since the role that is

  in use may no longer be available once after leaving from the previous zone

  during the change zone process. (Ref: 58043a)

• On Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, if the Agent machine has no

  internet connection and the .NET CLR settings

  (checkCertificateRevocationList) is set to True, the MFA authentication will

  be failed because the CLR is unable to verify the certificate through

  internet. The workaround is to enable the internet connection or turn off

  the CLR settings (set checkCertificateRevocationList to False which is also

  the default value). (Ref: CS-40147)
