RunAs as a different user

Question

If I from an elevated cmd run the following line, I get the error: "740: The requested operation requires elevation." But the CMD I run it in, is elevated som how can I tell runas to elevate it or that it is elevated?

"C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /noprofile /user:aloc-ad\teksupadmin "%windir%\System32\mmc.exe %windir%\System32\virtmgmt.msc""

I have also tried PowerShell: Start-Process -FilePath c:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe -ArgumentList c:\Windows\System32\virtmgmt.msc -Credential aloc-ad\teksupadmin

But with same result.

Runas will check if the user you hand over to it has elevated rights. If the user (here teksupadmin) doesn't have elevated rights (or permissions in general) , the program wont run even when you started the cmd with elevated rights.
