Vista - Impersonating user via vbscript?

thank you for reading.

is it even possible to impersonate a user on the domain (as you can
in .net) using vbscript?

the aim is to retrieve the environment variables of a given user on
the domain remotely (within the confines of the same network, of
course).

i've already looked up a number of resources but have come short of
finding a solution.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

such features built-in. One can use the credentials of another account in a
number of ways and contexts, including: the RUNAS command; creating a task
to run under different credentials; mapping a share under different
credentials; etc. There are third party tools that do similar things, and
likely other o/s functionality I have just forgotten about. But it depends
somewhat on what it is that you want to do...
Environment variables belong to processes or logon instances. It is
relatively easy to access another user's files on a server, for example, if
you have his account name and password. But to extract internal information
from an active process is more difficult to the point that I do not know how
it could be done.
Maybe someone else...?
