local queries as a different user?

[Lee Crabtree]

Is there a workaround for the "User credentials cannot be used for local
connections" error that I'm getting? I'm not running a script, the
query I need to run backs up the event log so that I can email a copy to
the support department. Unfortunately, the users created a new account
that, apparently, doesn't have access.

Thanks,
Lee Crabtree

That is not supported in WMI. You can see if teh RUNAS command workss for
you.
