CMD administrator error

Hi All,

When a domain user is logged into a workstation and I try to open the cmd prompt (run as) as an administrator I get this error message:

          C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
          The directory name is invalid.

How do I get the cmd prompt to open as an administrator?  Is there a fix that could be deployed over group policy (2008 R2 server)?

Thanks in advance

Are you simply doing ..

Window + R to open the Run Window .. type "cmd" -- Enter to open the Command Prompt?

No, in XP I click on start and go to Accessories and right click on the command prompt then click on "Run as...".  I will enter my credetials (I am a domain admin) or I will enter the local machines administrator credetials.  After useing both credentials I get the error message.
You need to set the access levels / permissions ... there is no option like "Run as.." User generated image
