I have a powershell script that is launching a process on a remote machine.
I would like to have it so the script prompts for the persons username and
password (get-credential) and then takes those credentials and uses them to
launch the process. The script works find if I launch powershell with the
credentials that need to launch the process on the remote machine, but if I
launch the powershell script with credentials that don't have access to that
machine it fails. Could somebody provide an example of this?

Here is a blog that indicates you can do it with a
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo object:
