Hello folks

I need help

When i run 

Start-Process notepad   -Credential $credential

 it's ok, this mean that credential used is OK

When I add -wait option , i receive this error message

Start-Process : Access is denied
At line:1 char:14
+ Start-Process <<<<  notepad   -Credential $credential  -wait
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Start-Process], Win32Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand

Notepad is starting, but also the next command in the script is running without waiting !

Thanks in advance

May be:

Start-Process notepad -Credential $credential -Pass | Out-Null

or

$cred = Get-Credential

$psi = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo -Prop @{
    RedirectStandardError = $True
    RedirectStandardOutput = $True
    UseShellExecute = $False
    UserName = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().UserName
    Domain = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Domain
    Password = $cred.Password
    WorkingDirectory = "C:\Windows"
    FileName = "notepad.exe"
}

[Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi).WaitForExit()

Try:(Start-Process notepad -Credential $credential -Pass).WaitForExit()
