I have a WIN32 program which I need to debug. It has to be ran as administrator - otherwise it doesn't do its job. I've searched through options and settings, but I haven't found anything usefull.
Does someone know a way to do that?
Ollydbg itself needs to be run as administrator
In fact every debugger needs admin privileges to work correctly
a debugee is a child process of the debugger and it automatically gets admin privileges.
if your question means how to run ollydbg as administrator from a limited account
you can use the runas utility
start run cmd.exe
runas /user:machine\
when the prompt for password appears provide admin password
runas:\>runas /user:host\admin OLLYDBG.EXE
Enter the password for host\admin:
Attempting to start OLLYDBG.EXE as user "host\admin" ...
ollydbg started as admin and any debugge opened by ollydbg will have admin privileges
to check the access rights of both debugee and debugger use accesscheck from sysinternals
it will let you know who is running what
use accesschk by sysinternals to check the rights of debugee
accesschk.exe -p ollydbg
Accesschk v4.20 -
