If you have the administrator password, Windows supports this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;294676&sd=tech

There are also sudo-like programs for Windows ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/sudowin/ ) which are somewhat more flexible that runas.

That deals with the "with different user" but completely misses the "automatically every day" bit. – ysth Dec 29 '09 at 22:40

Can't you run the script from the windows' "schedule task"? You can also set it to run with a different user.

Or use RJBS App::Cronjob which I read from his advent calendar here: http://advent.rjbs.manxome.org/2009-12-07.html

Not sure if that will work on windows though...
