7111 » Sanur freeware allow you to script RunAs.
When you use the RunAs utility, it prompts for a password, unless you can live with the solution I described in tip 3063.
To workaround this behavior, download and unzip Sanur.zip, a tiny Win32 console utility that pipes a password into the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Runas utility, making RunAS scriptable.
When you type sanur /? at a CMD prompt, it displays:
SANUR v1.0 Win32 Commandline RUNAS Automation Utility for 2000/XP/2003.

RUNAS | SANUR password
RUNAS | SANUR /i [drive:][path]filename
/i Pipes the password from the specified file into RUNAS.
Example usage:-
runas /u:domain\username program.exe | sanur pa55w0rd
runas /u:domain\username program.exe | sanur /i password.txt
Note: As Runas uses stdout to show errors, I recommend stdout is redirected
to stderr using >&2. This does not affect the program started by Runas. Eg:-
runas /u:domain\username program.exe >&2 | sanur pa55w0rd

I'm going to take this opportunity to once again plug TqcRunas 2002.2 Edition.
This wonderful application is scriptable from the commandline and COM as well. I just used it to push out Service Pack 4 and the MS03-026 patches to our users who did not have admin rights on their workstations.
While it isn't free, it is very affordable (from 80 € for 10 seats to 3000 € for an Enterprise license).
It is secure as TqcRunas can read its command line from a strongly encrypted file. Therefore, you can exactly specify which programs and options your users can run with administrator's privileges without revealing the administrator's password.

Use SUD/SU from http://www.loa.espci.fr/winnt/sud/sud.htm
It's free.
It lets you encrypt the entire password & execution parameters so people can't get at it... i.e.
Create a SU cfg file:
su -u DOMAIN\Account -p - -c "<path to program> <switches>" -C <path to config file>.cfg -S
It will prompt you for a password.
Run the config file anywhere at any time:
su -C <path to config file>.cfg
Without entering any password. the .cfg file is encrypted.
It runs as a service or console.
It's better than any other SU tool out there.
