Answer 1

You just need to run it with runas:

runas /user:administrator myscript.cmd

You might need to run it with /savecred

Obviously there are other switches that can be used, so running runas /? from cmd line will give the available switches.

/noprofile        specifies that the user's profile should not be loaded.
                 This causes the application to load more quickly, but
                 can cause some applications to malfunction.
/profile          specifies that the user's profile should be loaded.
                 This is the default.
/env              to use current environment instead of user's.
/netonly          use if the credentials specified are for remote
                 access only.
/savecred         to use credentials previously saved by the user.
/smartcard        use if the credentials are to be supplied from a
                 smartcard.
/user             <UserName> should be in form USER@DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER
/showtrustlevels  displays the trust levels that can be used as arguments
                 to /trustlevel.
/trustlevel       <Level> should be one of levels enumerated
                 in /showtrustlevels.
