we have a program that needs to be installed with domain admin permissions (not local admin, that won’t work). we have a lot of user’s and obviously don’t want to add everyone to the domain admins group for any longer than necessary.
is there a way to use a few batch file commands to have an installation that is running via the login script (a batch file) use administrative credentials for the duration of the installation of this piece of software? what i’m lokoing for is something like the “run as” option in W2K, where you can install something under the permissions of someone else and have it run under those permissions?
we’re on a Windows 2000 network (servers/workstations), TCP/IP, etc.
