I am working on a help desk and I use remote desktop to access other staff members' computers. The problem I have is that I need administrator permissions to do anything on their computers, and to get this I need to log them out and then log back as an administrator. Is there any way i can connect and have administrator permissions without having to log them out? Thanks.

Assuming that you can change Group Policy settings, you can add your Windows Account under the permissions option of the folder/s you are trying to access. To do this, go into the Properties of the folder you are tryin to access and then select theSecurity tab. Then add yuor windows account to that list and give yourself rights to modify.
