how programmatically execute batch file by another credential

Question

I have tfs local server. I write unit test , that execute batch file. The problem is: when I manual execute batch file it's perfect work. But when this script execute programmatically (check-in unit test and build definition. Test starts on build server by unknown credential) I see half result. So. How can visual studio (use c#) starts batch file, use credential of another user?

If I understand the issue you have, I'd recommend using runas. So it will be something like:

runas.exe /profile /user:YOURDOMAIN\YourUser %yourpath%\yourbatch.bat

You can set this to VS to run, instead your batch.

Hope this helps!

runas need manual password. But I need do this automatically. – user3231442 Apr 03 '14 at 15:18

You can use

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filenameToStart, username, password, domain);

There's also a similar thread here

And another with a code sample here
