Being logged in as a domain admin is not enough to get full administrator access. You only have full admin access if: a) UAC prompts you or b) you start something as an administrator. Running scripts or doing NTFS things that require administrator access do not cause UAC prompts.

You can do this with QoS, and I've seen nothing to indicate that HP is anything less than stellar in this regard. But if memory serves (it's been a few years) switches with QoS cost a bit more. Perhaps that's no longer true. At the very least, it simplifies configuration and troubleshooting.
