How to run a Script using the System account

I'm trying to run a script to find out the ACL for all the folders on
oneof my file servers, but since I also dont have access on some of the
folders like finance and HR, the script fails. The only way I can think
of without changing the permissions on the HR and Finance folders is to
run the script using the builtin SYSTEM account.

If anybody know how to run a script using the system account, please
let me know.

Cheers
Arvind

Get PSEXEC utility from
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsExec.html

Have PSEXEC run CSCRIPT on the target machine (or server), add a -S to
the command line to run the script as system account. Additionally,
you'll need to tell script the full location of the script (preferrably
copied to the workstation).

You can also run the script in a Group Policy object this causes the
script to run as system.

from the prompt run
at (currenttime+1 minute)/interactive cmd

you will go though a password check. Be loged in with admin locally.
When you get a new cmd window you will be running with a system account. Run
your script from this window. I use this to set perms on migrated accounts
all the time.
