Please let me know if you have any questions. You might be able to mitigate this risk using some form of sensitive variable or credential management. However, this is risky as it would require the variable to be embedded in the script.
Net use $uncServer $password /USER:$username For server admins, this means you can run with an unprivileged account for your day-to-day tasks (like waiting patiently while Outlook runs chkdsk on your 4GB PST file) and perform your catastrophic admin mistakes (like accidentally promote a domain controller. $uncFullPath = "$uncServer\destination\folder" Runas allows you to impersonate another user while running most any Windows app. If you’re unable to run the Tentacle as a user which has permissions to access the share then the only option we’ve been able to come up with is using PowerShell to mount the share as a different user. The Tentacle executes everything as the same user with no granular control available and the usual methods of changing users in a PowerShell session either do not work or result in unintended consequences. Because of this limitation, runas different user option does accept credentials of an admin user, but it will be running as that user with non-elevated credentials.I’ve been looking into this and unfortunately there isn’t a reliable or recommended way to switch users for a single step. When you’re done, just close the console window to continue using your account.Īn easier method would have been to just run the File Explorer as another user, but sadly this functionality was removed with the implementation of enhanced “security features” in Windows 7, so missing from Windows 8 as well. Now simply navigate to the file/folder you wish to delete, and run the del command. You’ll get a prompt for the account password, enter it and you should be able to access that accounts files and folders. Open the Run dialog box or Command Prompt and enter this command: runas /user:other-account-name cmd
You can use this method if you don’t want to log off and re-login just to delete some files. In this post I’ll show you how to delete files and folders that were created under a different account in Windows.
That’s a handy feature if you want to run a program but what if you wanted to delete a file created by another user? To access the option, right-click on an executable file with the Shift key pressed. On Windows 10, 8 and 7 this option is visible only when the extended context menu is visible. Windows has a feature known as secondary logon that allows a logged in user to run an application with another user’s credentials.
