I would like to know if anyone has had success elevating a user during the
logon process and if so what they used to elevate that user?

I would like to be able to elevate a user to admin rights, install one or
several programs and then remove the admin rights.

Anyone have any ideas as to which direction would be best?

Thanks
Tom

you may want to try setting your login scripts through group policies
to run synchronosly so that while they are running they are running as
sytem. The have your script run your installation.
Of course you could set up the installation through a GP, that installs
at the computer level and has full rights, no need to advance the user
to local admin to do that.

Thomas,
I may be out of my league here, but just after reading your post, I
made my daily visit to the MS Script center and found this - I didn't
read the entire article, but it looks like it might be what you're
after.
