Sure - you can do this in PowerShell.<br />
<br />
Use the new-item cmdlet with the -credentials parameter.

I have a helpdesk user who has delegated privileges so she can create users in AD. &nbsp;One of the things she does is assign the users home folder to a folder on the server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The problem is she as a user doesn't have rights to create folders on the server, so I gave her NTFS permissions to do this. &nbsp;The end result is that she's the owner of every home folder that she creates.<br />
<br />
So, is there a script that I can use that will ask her some info, let her fill in some blanks and then using an elevated username/password (encrypted) allow the home folder to be created?<br />
<br />
In other words, can I script the new user creation process and build in elevated privileges so she can create the home folders successfully?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
