Script to install App with admin user account

Locked

I have an issue that requires me to push out a hot fix for a customer to a group of computers. The hot fix is a .exe file not a .msi file and so I wrote a small script that will push out the hot fix and then drop a marker file so that the script won’t run again. The problem is that we have to assign the hot fix to the user OU rather than the computer OU (don’t ask why it would take to long to explain) so the script has to run under an administrators user context as the regular users are prevented from installing anything. You know those users – gotta keep em down! Anyway I wrote the original script but I don’t know how to get the script to run under a different user context.
