Does anyone know how to run a .vbs logon script under a different account
than the account that's logging in? The reason I need to do this is that
the script installs a software package if it's not already installed on the
machine that the user is logging onto. The Active Directory Group Policy
restricts software installation to domain administrators, so I wanted to run
this script with elevated priviledges to get around this restriction imposed
by the Group Policy. Has anyone effectively dealt with a similar issue?

Some background info:
--All client machines are Windows XP Pro
--Main AD Server (Global Catalog) is 2003. Other domain controllers are
2003 and 2000
