It's possible to execute a task, like applying a windows patch inmediatly.
We are trying to patch as many computers possible without actually visiting
the users.

Pedro:  If I want to execute a script using the system account, can you
provide some
Pedro:  suggestions.

I do this quite freqently.  Use the 'at' command.

Example:  I run TaskMgr as the SYSTEM to kill processes that normally wont
          die via Administrator:

at 09:00 /interactive /every:M,W,F TaskMgr.exe

(This will launch Task Manager every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am
in interactive mode)



Thanks
