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......

I am not aware of a way to do this.

No, you can't.

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.
