Runas Different Credentials In Command Prompt

Sometimes you need to run an executable as a different user via command prompt:
- in scripts
- in Windows 2008 (not 2008 R2), you cannot use shift right click to "run as different user"

Windows come with a command line tool called "runas", which allow users to execute anything as a different user, in the following syntax
runas /user domain\username "full path to exe"

ie.
runas /user domain\username "c:\temp\temp.exe /a /l /r"
