Run powershell script using different credentials

Question

I am trying to run a powershell script logged on as a particular user who has no "Script running" permissions. If I wanted to run the script as a different user is it possible to just add the credentials as a parameter to the script?

./Get-Something –computerName SERVER1 –filePath C:\Whatever -credentials ??

Cheers in advance! (Powershell noob)

What, pray tell, are the "script running" permissions you refer to? — vonPryz

You can store credential in a variable using $cred = Get-Credential "domain\username", then use it in Invoke-Command ... -Credential $cred. If you need to maintain credential across different powershell session refer to this techrepublic.com/blog/networking/…

You may also create a Scheduled Task invoking the script with the powershell.exe.

This provides a chance to add parameters and to run the script with elevated rights. You do not Need much code to accomplish this.
