RunAs Command to Run a Script Under Alternate User Credentials

PowerShell Help
1

I use a batch file to run a powershell script for my non-Tech co-workers.

I need to run this script with alt creds so it will install a piece of software.

I know its not best but I dont care if the password is in clear text in the script.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

hears my batch file to kick off the ps script:

@ECHO OFF
SET ThisScriptsDirectory=%~dp0
SET PowerShellScriptPath=%ThisScriptsDirectory%MyScript.ps1
PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ‘Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList ‘-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “”%PowerShellScriptPath%“”’ -Verb RunAs’

thank again

I was looking to use this in my powershell script to use the alt creds

$Username   = "PC01\user1"
$Password   = 'P@ssword'
$PasswordSS = ConvertTo-SecureString  -String $Password -AsPlainText -Force
$Creds     = New-Object -Typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -Argumentlist $Username,$PasswordSS


Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential $Creds -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList "Start-Process powershell.exe -Verb runAs"

#enter code here

It does open a new admin window but executes the code in the cmd.exe that is opened by the batch file.
