CMD: Running batch under diff user

Comment:

I'm currently coding a batchfile that does some modifications on user groups. For this to work, an administrative account is needed. All users that will be using this tool logon on using their normal account that does not have administrative rights. Of course its an option to rightclick the bat file and do a run as, but it would be much easier and cleaner if, when the file is opened, it automatically runs as the administrative account. Is there a way to implement the runas command and the actual code in one batch file?

You can do it, but you'd have to type in the username and password of the Administrator account. Doubtful you want that anywhere in Plain text. Why not just use a GPO to make the changes? Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
