asked on PowerShell Launching application using different user account failed ?
Hi All,
Due to PCI compliance all WIndows RSAT application and other IT Management tools must be launched by using my own AD admin account.
Since I login using DOMAIN\username how can I create the Powershell script to start the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 ?

Error Code:

Hi AC,
I'm logging in using DOMAIN\username but all of those applicaton must be executed using DOMAIN\Admin-Username hence I must perform Right Click and then select Run As..

Hmm, that's a tricky one but I think I have a solution. Firstly, you need
-Verb runas
$call = 'Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe" -ArgumentList "C:\Windows\System32\dsa.msc" -Verb runAs'
Start-Process powershell.exe -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList $call -Credential (Get-Credential)

That said, dsa.msc isn't a valid application. It's a snap-in for the MMC. You can try running mmc.exe with the command, or you can use %SystemRoot%\system32\Serv
