You should be able to use "runas" command which will let you run another process as a different user. Should be included by default in Windows 2008 and newer. Usage is pretty simple:

Code: Select all

runas /profile /env /user:mydomain\auser "notepad.exe"
This will execute notepad as the user "auser" from the domain "mydomain". You can also run as machine local accounts.

If you have any problems let us know, as there are several other options, that was just the simplest that came to mind.
