How to run console as admin from normal user account in Windows

Why would anyone want to do this?

A good Philosophy the Company I work for has taken is (Most companies do and I think everyone should ) to use your normal (restricted/less privileged) account for all duties and elevate or use an Admin account only when/where required.

Assuming you are in the Command window you can use the following syntax:

runas /user:{<Domain>\<Adminusername>} mmc

Hope You find this useful.

Manny
