Hi,

From my limited experience with scripting, I have found that, for example,
to schedule a task (using AT) requires admin rights. However most of the
users do not have admin rights. I was therefore wondering if it is possible
to run a script in an admin context, even though the user logging in is not
in an admin group?

Hi

runas.exe /savecred /user:username "mmc dfrg.msc"
