How do i execute an external exe using a specific user
To execute an external executable using a specific user in Windows, you can use the runas
command along with the /user
parameter. This allows you to run a program with the credentials of a specified user. Here's an example of how you can execute an external executable with a specific user:
bashrunas /user:username "path_to_executable"
Replace username
with the username of the specific user you want to use, and "path_to_executable"
with the actual path to the executable you want to run.
When you execute the command, it will prompt you for the password of the specified user. Enter the correct password, and the external executable will be executed with the user's credentials.
Please note that this method requires the user to have appropriate permissions and access rights to execute the executable file. Additionally, the runas
command may open a new command prompt window to run the executable, depending on the context and configuration.
If you are using a programming language like Python, you can also achieve this programmatically by using libraries such as subprocess
or win32api
to execute an external executable with specific user credentials.
