run script without certain privilege, how?

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

Hi,

The following script will create a scheduled job on a remote PC, and the
created job will run under Local System account. Currently the script is
triggered by using WMI Event Notification Query on server. Since the job
will run under Local System account, the job creation needs certain
privilege. Is there a way to trigger the script to run from the server by a
Logon Script of an ordinary user who has no local admin power at all? TIA,
Mark

For Each objTask in colScheduledTasks

If errJobCreated <> 0 Then
