Unable to execute runas in a terminal session

Hello,

We experience the following problem at a customer site:

 

Login with a remote terminal session as administrator:

 

Open a command shell and enter:

runas /user:DBUser cmd

.....

Enter the password for DBUser

Attempting to start cmd as user "mymachine\DBUser"

RUSNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd

3: The system cannot find the path specified

 

The installed OS is Windows 2003 Server SP1.

The server is not setup as terminal server.

The server is member of a windows domain.

 

Furthermore the error is independent from the chosen user (e. g. DBUser).

The chosen account is always member of the administrator group

 

The error does not occur if you connect explicitly to the console session

with the /console switch

or if you connect to the sesssion with id 0 by the taskmanager.

 

The error does not occur if you are not connecting remotely but execute

the command at the machine's console.

 

Regards
