We just "upgraded" to a new manufacturing system package and the developers
had this "fantastic" idea on how great it would be to set it up so when we
apply a patch to the server it will prompt the clients to auto update.
Unfortunately, the auto update requires user to be local admins.

Is there a way to have a program run with local admin privs no matter who is
logged on? Also, without prompting for any credentials

Are you not able to 'push' updates out to the client machines? I
actually think you would prefer that method...that way, you're certain
that the updates were applied.

To give a common example; where I work, malware signatures and McAfee
program updates (as needed) get pushed to all workstations overnight.

Your (l)users should not be updating anything on their machines, other
than their own passwords.
