How can I make PowerShell run a program as a standard user?

Question

Alright, so, I've been searching online forever, and I can't find anything on this at all.

Basically, what I want to do is run a program from an elevated PowerShell script, but I want the program to run as the standard user.

I need to do this because the program that I need to run requires access to a mapped network drive that the domain administrator accounts don't have access to. So, I basically need a line of code that will take the script out of elevated mode, or some extension to the Start-Program command that will make it run as the logged on user rather than the administrator account that the script is running from.

Answer 1

you could use psexec

psexec -l powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -noexit -file c:\temp\checkelevated.ps1

-l : Run process as limited user (strips the Administrators group and allows only privileges assigned to the Users group). On Windows Vista the process runs with Low Integrity.
