Pass parameters to program started with Runas
I am trying to start Performance monitor as different user. I found runas.exe but syntax for program arguments makes me go crazy.
The following syntax works:
C:WindowsSystem32runas.exe /user:domainusername perfmon.exe
But since perfmon.exe has the argument /res the following line doesn't work:
C:WindowsSystem32runas.exe /user:domainusername perfmon.exe /res
I tried to escape /res but without any success. I tried:
"/res"
"/res""
"/res""
Any ideas?

The correct syntax is to include both the target executable and its parameters in double quotes like this:
runas.exe /user:domainusername "perfmon.exe /res"
runas.exe /user:domainusername "perfmon.exe "argument with spaces" /res"
More Information
- Runas command

What if the arguments contain spaces? how do you escape quotes around each argument? Just tried with " and it worked
