On Windows XP through 7, I have a service that needs to be able to launch sub-processes as other users. Executing runas would do the trick, but SYSTEM is not configured to use runas without a password for the accounts. Can SYSTEM be configured to be able to authenticate as users without needing a password?

- Go to your Services control panel
- Right-click the service in question and go to "Properties"
- To to the tab "Log On" and check "This Account"
- Enter the account details of the user you want it to run as (one that can use the RUNAS command without requiring passwords)
- Click OK and bob's your uncle.

Not quite what I am looking for. It needs to be able to launch processes as multiple users. I essentially need to figure out how to delegate runas permissions, the Windows version of visudo. – Eric Pruitt Dec 09 '10 at 21:58
