Re: Starting services at command line with admin password?

You can use runas at the command line if you want to do it while you are
logged on. Use runas /? to find runas syntax. There are third party
utilities such as cpau from Joeware.net that may be able to do what you want
in a batch file that can also encode the user credentials. See the link
below if interested in cpau. --- Steve
