If you are using WMI from within a program, check the docs for
CreateProcessAsUser()

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocessasuser.asp

or CreateProcessWithLogonW()

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocesswithlogonw.asp

which could launch the program that does the WMI stuff.

If you are using a scripting language, your script would have launch an
executable which would call one of the functions above to run the script.
