That worked perfectly thanks alot I had to state the location for wsus and the dos box stays open even after I have taken pause out so only small niggels but perfect and small things I can live with.

my rendition

@echo off
setlocal
if /i "%~1"=="/runas" goto Start
runas.exe /user:Domain\User "\"%~f0\" /runas"
goto :eof
:Start
echo Running as %UserDomain%\%Username%
start "" "dsa.msc"
start "" "tsadmin.msc"
start "" "Exchange Management Console.msc"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Update Services\administrationsnapin\wsus.msc"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\lockoutstatus.exe"

Sorted by little problem faster than I relized

Then it's the lockoutstatus.exe that's keeping the command prompt open.
Just add a start "" at the beginning of line 12, so that it looks like the rest:

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\lockoutstatus.exe"

Perfect thanks a lot for this super fast reply and solving my query, this will save me time getting all the admin programs up and running in the morning instead of shift right clicking then running as on all of then individually.
