Starting a process under a different user without supplying thepassword

[Guest Saqib Ali]

As a I administrator can I launch processes on behalf of other users

without supplying their passwords?

 

I know psexec can launch processes on behalf of other users, but I

have to supply the user's credentials......

You can do this with AutoIt

 

RunAsSet("username","domain","password")

Run("commandline")

RunAsSet()

 

http://autoitscript.com

 

If you compile with encryption, that makes the password reasonably secure.

The OP wanted to do this without supplying the user's credentials.

Your process DOES require these credentials. Furthermore it is

a classical Trojan process: Anyone who gets a copy of your proposed

routine can use (abuse?) it to execute "commandline", regardless of

what hides behind this "commandline".

I would take it he means "Not supply them manually, ad nauseam." - That is

the sensible interpretation.

So you reckon the OP is a malware author?

No, not at all. I'm saying that in using your tool, the OP

gives his users a tool that can easily be used for unauthorised

access.
