Does the information the application wants to access have to reside on a DC? If not, move the information to another server and make the service account a member of the server's Administrators group. If you are stuck with the information on the DC, you either need to use a different application or make the service account a member of the Domain Administrators group.
Anyone else have a better idea?

When I look at the properties of the Admin$, it is not possible to change any settings. On the other side, I canīt change the share the application needs... In this case it is admin$. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated? Are there any GPO that would allow me to do so...?
