How can I run a login script as a dom: admin, rather than the local user? RUNAS wont work as it requires the password to be entered.

Any reason why you need admin rights? Are you installing software or making registry changes then you should use GPOs. Otherwise you need to make users administrators to do it.

Its actually something that is run, only if and when a user requests a certain update, so it would have been run as a script

Check out TQCRUNAS, which is a 3rd party RUNAS program that will let you script the password, the one thing RUNAS doesn't do.

It will encrypt the password now, so that makes it a little more secure. You could run TQCRUNAS in the logon scripts to launch the apps as Administrator.

Thanks, this is what I was after, mind you a cheaper product would have been better :)
