I'm really not sure what you're asking. &nbsp;ADUC and &quot;Active Directory users &amp;&nbsp;computers&quot; are the same thing. &nbsp;Enter ADUC where?<br />
<br />
Your options really are:<br />
&nbsp;- using &quot;Run as a different user&quot;<br />
&nbsp;- logging on to a machine as the user with needed rights. &nbsp;This could be a special machine accessed via RDP that is only used for administrative tasks (a jump box).<br />
&nbsp;- for many things in PowerShell there is a credential parameter.

I'm really not sure what you're asking.  ADUC and "Active Directory users & computers" are the same thing.  Enter ADUC where?

Your options really are:
 - using "Run as a different user"
 - logging on to a machine as the user with needed rights.  This could be a special machine accessed via RDP that is only used for administrative tasks (a jump box).
 - for many things in PowerShell there is a credential parameter.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I logon to my Windows with a user which has no rights in the domain (ADUC etc). However, when I need to run a Powershell or Activey Directory etc, I need to &quot;run as&quot; which is a pita.<br />
Isn't there a way I can enter f.e. ADUC and then launch Active Directory users &amp;&nbsp;computers?<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />

Powershell: starting installed Windows applications via 1 command in Powershell?

PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.
