Software that needs administrative privileges

[hismaaho...@discussions.microsoft.com]

I’m trying to install a software using SMS but the installation fails because
it needs local administrative privileges on the machine. By default all users
are standard users.
I checked the button of “run with administrative rights “ in the environment
tab of the program and it still fails.
The program is an EXE file with no parameter to allow administrative install.
Any ideas ?

We have run into this problem with several applications. Nothing we did
(even allow interaction) would make it would. We had to install it locally
with the real admin account. Luck for us it was only a few machines. I
don't have a solution only empathy.

I've run into this too... SMS uses system, not good enough for some as I call
it poorly written programs. To get around the problem, I created a domain
user with "read and execute" to SMS distribution shares and is also a local
admin on workstations then used "freeware" autoit (there are paid programs
out there that do a better job of encryption of the exe but autoit fits my
needs),
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
to create an encrypted exe with runas rights. Then I used SMS to push the
autoit exe I created to install the program. It took me awhile to figure out
how get it to install from current location (install from SMS distro share)
but install from a network share with runas is a piece of cake.

create sms account in the active directroy & but it in the domain admins group

in the sms console ------>connection account ------>Client---> define the
user & his password

also in the client installation method --->accounts (tap)--->define the same
user & his password
