Hi!
I have one problem. Powersers have one application that must be run only by
admin.
When I'm logged as poweruser, I can start this program by selecting "run as"
and filling credentials manualy. And It runs OK.
Is it possible to fill it somehow automatically? Or any other way?
I do not want to give admin rights to users or powerusers... ;-(

ThanX, Murphy.
 
First you should try to modify ntfs/registry permissions to see if the power
user can run the application. There are free tools such as filemon and
regmon from SysInternals that can help track down denied permissions for an
application. If that is not possible I don't know of a way to add
credentials automatically unless you use a batch file though the
administrator credentials will still be exposed to users who know how to
find them. The link below explains how to do this.

Otherwise MVP Joe Richards has written a replacement for runas called CPAU
that can encrypt credentials used to run a batch file. See the link below
for info on that and where to get it and be sure to read Joe's full
documentation at his website if interested and his comments on using the
encryption.
