Getting uptime of a remote system as another user

[Deon 0]

Apologies for making this a bit of a complicated one...

I'm looking for a remote uptime script. I've found a few, and something like one of the below would probably do... however I need to be able to run the script as another user.

 

For security, we don't use our domain admin accounts on a day-to-day basis, only when we need to run scripts that require domain admin permissions. Eg, I'm logged in all day as $regularuser and use $domainadmin when I log into a server... $regularuser doesn't have admin rights on the servers, so this code must be executed as $domainadmin.

 

The script will be placed in a network share, so I can't use RunAs in Windows, because when the session is created for the RunAs user ($domainadmin), the network share will not be mapped and the script won't be found.

 

 

Any ideas?

hello Deon, welcome to AutoIt and to the forum!

The script will be placed in a network share, so I can't use RunAs in Windows, because when the session is created for the RunAs user ($domainadmin), the network share will not be mapped and the script won't be found.

 

Any ideas? 

 

 

you can use RunAs, but do not use a drive letter, use the UNC path instead.
