How to run a program with different rights than the logged in user

by  dm7941  Posted    (Edited  )
Activate the "schedule" service, set it to log on with the system account (and interact with the desktop, if needed) or log on to a different account such as an admin account on the domain. Then from anywhere you can use the AT command with a machine name in this format

AT \\COMPUTERNAME 10:00a /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su /interactive "\\server\share\dir\RUNFILE.BAT"

where "runfile.bat" represents any command you need to run. I use a 2 batch file combination to send the AT command to each machine on my network when needed.
