How to invoke a process on a remote computer under a specified identity

It is sometimes useful to invoke an application on a remote device using a specified user context instead of the LocaSystem user.

To achieve this result, it is possible to use the attached VBS that uses WMI to invoke a process on a remote machine.

There are some limitations:

• The machine should not have the personal firewall on or it needs to be configured for WMI remote invocation.

• The process can not be interactive ( so no GUI )

• The process can not be called from the same computer when the script runs (this script can't run locally):
  If the script is executed on COMPUTER-A it is not possible to use the script with the option /COMPUTER:COMPUTER-A

• The script is given AS IS, unsupported and without any express warranty. This process does not use any LANDesk files or processes.

Syntax:

runAS /USERNAME:username /PASSWORD:password /COMPUTER:computer /COMMAND:program to run

NOTE: it is suggested to invoke the script with CSCRIPT interpreter.
