SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Provides an overview of Run As accounts in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
    for System Center 2012 and the VMM command-line interface.

LONG DESCRIPTION
    VMM for System Center 2012 adds support for Run As accounts. A Run As 
    account is a named set of stored credentials that you can provide instead
    of manually entering a user name and password in order to run a process.

    After you create a Run As account, you can get the Run As account from
    the command line or within a script and provide the Run As account to a
    cmdlet that requires credentials. Many cmdlets will take a Run As account
    as input for the Credential parameter. See the syntax for an individual 
    cmdlet to determine whether it accepts a VMMCredential object, which
    indicates that the cmdlet will accept a Run As account, or whether a 
    PSCredential object is required, and thus the use of the Get-Credential
    cmdlet.

    For information about creating Run As accounts, type:
    "Get-Help New-SCRUnAsAccount -detailed".

    You can also determine what fabric objects are linked to a specific Run
    As account. For more information, see the Get-SCRunAsAccountConsumer
    cmdlet.
