How do I run a program from command prompt as a different user and as an admin [closed]

I am using "runas" to open command prompt as a different user but that command prompt is not running as an admin. How can I make it run as an admin?

UPDATE: I am using Windows Server 2012

UPDATE: I opened cmd for another account by running

 runas /user:domain\username cmd.exe

Then I tried to run some commands in this new prompt but this is not running as an elevated user (even though it has Administrator privileges).

Solution 1:

See here: https://superuser.com/questions/42537/is-there-any-sudo-command-for-windows

According to that the command looks like this for admin:

 runas /noprofile /user:Administrator cmd

Solution 2:

Start -> shift + command Prompt right click will helps to use as another user or as Admin

Solution 3:

All of these answers unfortunately miss the point.

There are 2 security context nuances here, and we need them to overlap. - "Run as administrator" - changing your execution level on your local machine - "Run as different user" - selects what user credentials you run the process under.

When UAC is enabled on a workstation, there are processes which refuse to run unless elevated - simply being a member of the local "Administrators" group isn't enough. If your requirement also dictates that you use alternate credentials to those you are signed in with, we need a method to invoke the process both as the alternate credentials AND elevated.

What I found can be used, though a bit of a hassle, is:

• run a CMD prompt as administrator

• use the Sysinternals psexec utility as follows:

  psexec \\localworkstation -h -i -u domain\otheruser exetorun.exe

The first elevation is needed to be able to push the psexec service. The -h runs the new "remote" (local) process elevated, and -i lets it interact with the desktop.

Perhaps there are easier ways than this?
