How to use 'Run As Specified User' credentials in my script further ?

[ashish44s]

Hi All,

Greetings !!!

I'm using PowerShell Studio 2012 to create one tool to perform different administrative tasks. I do not want to run the output tool.exe as an administrator. I want to run that as 'Run As Different User' and provide credentials at that time. Also, I want to use those credentials further in my script to perform several tasks on remote computers without providing them again and again during run-time.

Can you please help to suggest a method to do that ?

Thanks...

You can't. You can re-launch your script using credentials

$cred=Get-Credential
start-process -FilePath powershell -ArgumentList "c:\temp\myscrip.ps1" -Credential $cred

Do you know how and where PowerShell Studio keeps my credentials when I launch EXE with 'Run As Different User' ?
I'm asking because I'm able to do some task written in script with those provided credential as cmdlets don't require them For e.g. Get-Service

But, if I need to run a command to remove app-v package on remote machine, it requires credentials if used with Invoke-Command.

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $c -ScriptBlock {Remove-AppvClientPackage -Name XXX} -Credential $cred


I want to use $cred as what I provided to run my EXE.

$cred is not stored anywhere.

When you use RunAs the credentials are stored in the password vault. Unfortunately it requires elevation to retrieve the password.
