Certainly an option but I would way go for using the cmd prompt and
running runas there. Likely I could start up an admin tool faster that
way then someone could do it via the GUI anyway.

Shoulda mentioned that you need to hard-code the username in there, and
remove the one I put in which is a dummy test account.

Actually, there is, sort of. I wrote a couple of shell add-ons for the old
command prompt here to get an elevated command prompt. The same process can
be used here. If you export this to a reg file and import it, you will get a
Run As this app on the context menu for executables
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\cRunas]
@="Run As this app"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\cRunas\command]
@="runas.exe /user:ant\\jesperAD \"%1\""
If you want the old command prompt here, you import this file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CmdHere]
@="Command Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CmdHere\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""
Both of these will be running with the normal token for that user. In other
words, if you runas an admin in admin approval mode, you get a low admin
token. To get an elevated token you would need an app that can elevate
arbitrary processes on the command line. I wrote one of those for the Windows
Vista Security book, but it is not quite ready for prime time yet.

to add it to the contect menu using the registry a lot of folks would
appreciate that.

Use runas executable from the command prompt.

Hello,
Local admins only get the option to "Run as Admin" when using
right-click, which uses the account with admin rights they are logged in
with. How can we enable them to choose an alternative domain account with
priviledges for like running Exchange or AD admin tools on administrative
workstations?
Thx!
Cheers
