runas script to launch batch file

Hello again. I have another program that need to be lauched by a batchfile
however it needs to be run as a different user

here we go.

batchfile name is: mount-truecrypt.bat
inside has this:

REM mounting truecypt volumes !! do not change !!
"c:\program files\truecrypt\truecrypt.exe" /volume
"\Device\Harddisk1\Partition1" /letter F /favorites /p newutopianewutopia10
/q
"c:\program files\truecrypt\truecrypt.exe" /volume
"\Device\Harddisk2\Partition1" /letter N /favorites /p newutopianewutopia10
/q


REM starting sharing for truecrypt /y is required for unattended interaction
net stop server /y
net start server /y
net start "computer browser" /y
exit

i need this file to run as the user truecrypt with the password 1234567890

To run your batchfile as a different user on the local or remote machine :

runas /user:truecrypt "mount-truecrypt.bat"

Here, the user "truecrypt" can be replaced with "remotepc\truecrypt" where 'remotepc'
is the computername of a remote machine.

The above command requires you to input the specified user's password when requested.

However, if you need the command to run "unattended" (as in a batch file) you will
need to download [psexec.exe] from sysinternals)

psexec remotepc -u truecrypt -p 1234567890 c:\windows\mount-truecrypt.bat

Please note that, in this command, an "absolute path" to the target-program is
required.

runas /user:truecrypt "mount-truecrypt.bat"

Here, the user "truecrypt" can be replaced with "remotepc\truecrypt" where
'remotepc' is the computername of a remote machine.

Just to avoid some possible confusion, using "/user:remotepc\username"
switch does not cause the batch file to be run on the remote PC. It will run
on the pc on which you are typing the runas command, but using the
credentials of an account on another machine.

To actually run a batch file on a remote system requires a facility such as
psexec (as explained below).

The above command requires you to input the specified user's password when
requested.

However, if you need the command to run "unattended" (as in a batch file)
you will need to download [psexec.exe] from sysinternals)

psexec remotepc -u truecrypt -p 1234567890 c:\windows\mount-truecrypt.bat

Please note that, in this command, an "absolute path" to the
target-program is required.

Note also that the path is relative to the remote pc, not the local one.

Better method which doesn't expose the password:
