        <description><![CDATA[Are you sitting at the workstation and doing Runas as a local admin, or a domain admin?If you think it is a permissions problem, I'd have a look through Group Policy (Local and Domain) to see what is in place which might prevent this.

When ran through my admin account, no action is taken and I sit still at a blank screen.  I am on IE8 though as you mentioned it may not work properly.  All workstations here at the office are on IE8, and I don't think we're going to downgrade 500+ computers just so I can get my admin privileges.  I think I might have to disable/delete my admin account and start a new one from scratch and see if that works.]]></description>
