c# - Ensuring Process.Start() runs under the logged in user -

i'm running batch file asp.net/c# code on web server. batch file performs test automation tasks on vm using tools psloggedon , pexec.

if run batch file manually when i'm logged server under administrative account, works fine.

my problem comes when run code (below), seems run under 'system' account, , psloggedon etc. don't seem work correctly.

code

     process p = new process();      p.startinfo.filename = "c:\setupvm.bat";      p.start();      p.waitforexit(); 

i've got in web.config, doesn't seem make differance?

<identity impersonate="true" username="administrator" password="myadminpassword"/> 

is there anyway can ensure batch file runs under 'administrator' account?

updated code

      process p = new process();       p.startinfo.filename = "c:\\setupvm.bat";       p.startinfo.username = "administrator";       p.startinfo.useshellexecute = false;       p.startinfo.workingdirectory = "c:\\";        string prepassword = "myadminpassword";       securestring passwordsecure = new securestring();       char[] passwordchars = prepassword.tochararray();       foreach (char c in passwordchars)       {           passwordsecure.appendchar(c);       }       p.startinfo.password = passwordsecure;       p.start();       p.waitforexit(); 

from msdn:

when useshellexecute false, can start executables process component.

maybe issue i'm trying run .bat file?

thanks.

you can provide username , password startinfo:

process p = new process(); p.startinfo.filename = "c:\setupvm.bat"; p.startinfo.username = "administrator"; p.startinfo.password = "adminpassword"; p.start(); p.waitforexit(); 

see documentation processstartinfo.
