Re: Running a pre-stage installation program using SMS Credentials

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

In SMS in the Program to Run you can tell it to run in the System context
which will run it with administrator credentials.

For a scripting solution. AutoIt has the ability to do a RunAs with a
supplied account and password.

Here's the scenario:
After pre-staging the installation files via SMS in the local system, what
is the best way to run the installation of the said program with admin
priveleges if the logged-on user account does not have it? Does the SMS
Client Agent (or SMS in general) have this capability?

What we wish is to run the installation on the next reboot, say by placing
an entry in the RunOnce key to cal the setup.exe file.

We looked at using "Run As" but we would like to avoid the user to supply
the password (as we do not want to give an admin password to everyone
:-)...so this one is out of thepicture :-).

Could anyone recommend a diffent tool?

Thanks a million :-)
