Hi there,

I need to run a script using "runas" command since my logged on users are
non administrators on the local machine.

Is there any available tool "runas" that is considered secure enough to be
used and applied as a group policy-logon script ? I am currently enconding a
.vbs script but obviously that is a very weak protection. I would like a
'runas' tool that is protected by password.
