Group Policy Preferences can run as a specific user. Not sure whether software
installation gpos come under that though.

FOLLOW-UP Question
I was just on the phone with a reseller for the Scriptlogic product, and he
mentioned Group Policy Preferences for what I'm trying to do. Does anyone know
if permission elevation for installing specific software is possible through
GPP? How is everyone out there handling users installing specific software
without making them local admins?
This will be a 2008R2/Win7 environment, so would request that answers be based
on that, if possible. What we do with older technology isn't necessarily what
we can/will do with newer. Also, I know about, and am looking into the
BeyondTrust, Scriptlogic and Viewfinity products, so no need to respond with
those options, unless you have a big selling point on any of them.
As always, I appreciate all help/advice/tips.

Has anyone used this product, from BeyondTrust? Looks like it would be useful
to minimize permission levels on Win 7 boxes. We're looking at using
Applocker, and this seems to be a good fit to go along with that, to
automatically raise perm levels for apps in Applocker, so normal users can
install whitelisted applications.
Any personal experiences would be most appreciated.
