Start Process with administrator right in C#

Question

I have to start a command line program with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() and run it as Administrator.

This action will also be run by a Scheduled Task every da

Answer 1

If you are using scheduled tasks, you can set the user and password for the task to run under.

Use the administrator credentials on the task and you will be fine.

With Process.Start, you need to supply the UserName and Password for the ProcessStartInfo:

Process p = new Process("pathto.exe");
p.StartInfo.UserName = "Administrator";
p.StartInfo.Password = "password";
p.Start();
