Combining Cpau and Psexec can prove to be quite a powerful combination.
This is how you would launch a process in elevated security…and also remotely launch a file.
CPAU
Use cpau.exe to change the security context and launch the local script. Note, I also pass the PC name to the remote.cmd using strComputer1
objShell.Run “%comspec% /c cpau.exe -u %computername%\administrator -p PASSWORD_HERE -ex “”remote.cmd ” & strComputer1 & chr(34) & ” -lwop -hide”,0,false
PSEXEC
The contents of the remote.cmd (how you launch a script remotely using psexec)
@echo off
if not “%1” == [] set PC=%1
if “%1” == [] exit /b 0
rem sets PC name – it was passed from the VBScript/HTA above
SET PC=%1
rem copies your script to the remote computer
copy /y script.cmd \\%PC%\c$\windows\system32
Menu\Programs\Startup\”
rem launches the script remotely
psexec \\%PC% /accepteula -d -s script.cmd
