runas or psexec inside Windows container

I have a windows image based on mcr.microsoft.com/windows:1809.

In my Dockerfile, I created a new user via

net user /add myuser mypassword

Now I would like to enter the container, e.g. via docker run -it and execute commands via the myuser (instead of the standard user ContainerAdministrator).

I tried both runas and psexec but both commands did not work as expected or gave various errors, among others these and these.

How can I run a command inside a Windows docker container as a different user other than ContainerAdministrator?

Use the --user arg while running "docker run" command. In your case your user "myuser" will be the arg value as below

docker run -it --user "myuser" <image_id> cmd
