Running a specific program with Administrative rights.

[Guest]

We have a very tight environment and all the end users are
locked down with a GPO ; but there is a one program that
is need to be executed with Administrative rights. End
user doesn't want to logoff and logon with a different
logon to execute the program and taking the user out of
the GPO is not going to happen. Is there a way to Run this
Program with Administrative rights.... ??

Example.. the users are not allowed or can't run Regedit
what are the switchs to run Regedit as a shortcut with
Adminstrative rights. I dont know if this make sense but
ex: I ve seen it in Group Wise (netware)
C:\Netware\Groupwis\etc.... /userid=ADMINISTRATOR PWD=

You can create a shortcut and check the "Run as different user" checkbox
in the shortcut properties, or you can take a look at the runas commmand.

In addition to Olof's suggestion you can use the RUNAS command
in a batch file:

RUNAS /help

See: RUNAS /User:

Hey,
To run any program with admin right, just hold down the
shift key, right click on that program and do runas. This
will allow you to put in admin account and password.

Did you miss the point that he needs this to run on user
command but they aren't admins?
