RunAs Help

[damon]

Hello,

You guys helped me years ago to address logging in with a different account than the user.  I have sense modified it over the years due to laptops syncing with AD which is why you will see 3 different passwords.  So, this script snippet has worked for me in many things i have written but I am all the sudden having an issue getting it to work.  I have verified that the password i am using for the local user account is $pass.  Verified by doing a run as different user on Chrome and cut and pasted the password out of the script just to make sure i was not fat fingering something.  

I get a fail back from RunAs every time.   

Any chance you guys see something i am doing wrong?

Why do you have the user name set to ".\user"?  It should just be "user".  You are already specifying the domain as @ComputerName, so the ".\" is not needed.  Also, RunAs requires the user name only for the first argument, not "domain\username".  Also, RunAs does not request the Admin Token when it runs a command, so the account run as does not have full admin rights.  There are workarounds for this, here is one.
