Is the export function part of another program or is it standalone? I have some luck in creating a service (that interacts with the desktop) for programs that need to run under administrator level access. I used this for my technicians who needed Agilent IO Libraries which connects to Agilent test instrumentation. If needed, you could have a script on the desktop that starts and stops the service so they can open and close the app when they want. Look for KB137890 for directions.

This is a real pain in the backside for me and is going to be one of those ways that end-users end up with administrative rights - in this case, not on their local machines, but on a terminal server. Unfortunately I can't see any way around it other than writing some sort of custom "admin wrapper" that lets a program execute like RunAs but without allowing any access to the password. If anyone else has any ideas or tips I'd be glad to hear them :-) 2008/8/7 Krishna Reddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't think so. I believe that local groups are evaluated at login.

I have some really ancient export function that seems to require administrator rights to run successfully, but my users will receive a different desktop (i.e. without any of their applications) if they have to log out and back in when they are given elevated rights. My research seems to indicate that the answer to this is a resounding no, but I am hoping someone knows something I don't :-) TIA, JRR The information contained in this email and attachments to this email are the proprietary and confidential property of Nucomm, Inc.
