Masking usernames and passwords in batch files

[Guest]

Hello, I am using batch files to run tasks on client PCs with local admin
privelidges as they are only power users of there machines. Hence the batch
file displays the username and password that is running the program. Is there
a way to disable or hide this
Thanks

If these are domain computers you might try to use Group Policy startup
scripts that run in system context and do not require credentials. Startup
scripts are part of computer configuration. The link below explains more on
how to configure Group Policy scripts. Start up scripts can be run on non
domain computers but have to be configured on each computer instead of
centrally. --- Steve
