I am a network administrator.
We have several users here at work who cannot have administrative rights to their computers by policy.
I have a piece of software that requires users to be logged in as administrators.
As a test, I created a local user on a spare PC in my office that has administrative rights to that PC. I logged in as one of our users. When I right-click on the shortcut to the software that requires administrative rights, I can click "Run As", choose this created user, type in the password, and run the software with administrative rights.
That works fine.
The catch is that I don't want the users to know this created user's name or password. Is there a way to set up a program such that it automatically runs as this created administrator and does not prompt the users for this administrator's name and password? I want this to be so transparent to the users that they think they're running the program as themselves.
