This answer has been taken from:-

Full credit goes to the orginal author.
It took me several weeks of searching before I found this and it surprised me that no one had posted something similar so here it is.

Runas Replacement
RUNAS in Windows 2000 is nice, but not very script friendly. Unlike SU from the NT Resource Kit, you can't pass a password. Here is an alternative.
You can use the following script to execute a command via RUNAS. You might find this helpful for yourself, or run it from a batch file (although the password will be in clear text). Another alternative is to hardcode the command, username and password in the script, then use the Script Encoder (download from http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting) to encode it. You run the script the same way, the file will just have a different extension: cscript vbrunas.vbe. Then if you have repeatable admin tasks you or your users, just execute the script.

'DESC: A RUNAS replacement to take password at a command prompt.
'NOTES: This is meant to be used for local access. If you want to run a command
'across the network as another user, you must add the /NETONLY switch to the RUNAS
'command.
