I understand your problem, but I strongly disagree with your view
that this would be a "nice feature".
You would have a situation where installations are performed
totally out of your control, while other users are connected to the
TS and possibly even running the same application. That's a fast
road to disaster in my book.
Sounds to me like the application needs to be redesigned, at least
the update procedure. It shouldn't hang when a normal users tries
to run it, depite the fact that there is an update. In fact, it
shouldn't even check for updates when it is started by a non-
administrator.

Actually in this instance yes :).
The application will hang if a non-admin user attempts to open
it as the application forces an automatic install of any
application updates. So the application is forcing the TS into
install mode but with a limited user account the update would
fail. I wouldn't want to give out Admin access to any part of
the TS or any other applications besides for this upgrade
application.
This would be a nice feature to implement so that limited TS
users can permanently run any application as admins without
raising their entire security level to that of an admin.

do you really want your users to be able to install programs?
Note that for every installation (and an upgrade *is* an
installation), the server nust be put into "install mode", and
no users should be connected to the server at the time you
install the upgrade.

Hey Techneties,
The question I have is regarding ts on a windows 2k3
advanced server. We
have an application that frequently gets updated however the
update will fail since the local users do not have admin
privledges for obvious reasons.
I have tried the run as command however it seems as if the
application
still asks for the credentials of the admin when the
application is launched. Is there a method of configuring the
icons to always run as the admin including when the base
application is changing?
So in more humanoid terms can I set up a permanent run as on
the icon that will not require the admin username and
password to be entered by my restricted users?
Thanks in advance,
Chas
