## SYNTAX

### Credential (Default)
```
Invoke-UserImpersonation -Credential <PSCredential> [-Quiet]
```

### TokenHandle
```
Invoke-UserImpersonation -TokenHandle <IntPtr> [-Quiet]
```

## DESCRIPTION
This function uses LogonUser() with the LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS LogonType
to simulate "runas /netonly".
The resulting token is then impersonated with
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() and the token handle is returned for later usage
with Invoke-RevertToSelf.

$SecPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force
```

$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('TESTLAB\dfm.a', $SecPassword)
Invoke-UserImpersonation -Credential $Cred
