Tasklist.exe -- credential caching for remote workstations? google 01-19-2006

I'm guessing some caching of some sort is taking place, but I was
trying to use the tasklist.exe comand line against a remote machine in
my domain.


When I ran it as such:


tasklist /s workstation


It fails with ERROR: Access denied. This is good, because my standard

login is a low privilidge account.


When I ran it again as:


tasklist /s workstatation /u XYZ\PrivilidgedAccount


it worked, without requesting a password! I'm guessing somewhere
along the line, my PrivAccount credientials are cached. I tried
clossing the command shell and re-opening a new one, but it still
worked. I use RunAs regularly, but I'm always prompted for
credentials.


Can someone help me understand what is going on here and refer me to a
MS reference? I'm concerned because there are times I will walk up to

another users system to perform similar activities.


Thanks,


d.
