Copying a File to Program Files Directory

[Guest]

I have a executable I need to upgrade on all of my user's computers. I do
not need to install anything, simply copy a file to a specified location in
the program files directory.
I was going to do this with a simple batch file and make it part of the
startup script through group policy. However, none of my users have local
administrative rights, so they are not allowed to write into the specified
directory.
Does anyone know any way to copy the file in to the directory? RUNAS will
not work since it prompts for a password. I ahve about 1500 users I am
updating so a automated response is necessary.

You could use a startup script - these run under the local system account:
