    Program needs to run with admin


    Can I get a program to run with admin without giving users local admin or a local admin password.

    I have a programs which seems to need admin but do not want to grant local admin to my users.

    Power users is no use.

    Thanks

    There is a trick where you use task scheduler to launch a program with elevated rights and without asking any password or confirmation:
    Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create

    You need to know the admin password for creating it, but the shortcut works on its own after that. But be aware that this is a security risk as anyone can elevate without knowing a password. Be sure that the program don't have any backdoor that allows users to take complete control if they really want (open/save as dialogs are particularly powerful when running elevated).
