Remote install as admin
Does anyone have experience deploying remotely as admin. I do not, but would like to work out a procedure that I can test with our installer and then suggest it as standard proc. to some of our admins who deploy to large numbers of computers.

Has anyone used the RunAs plugin in production for this? How would you suggest handling the admin's password?


You don't need to save the password in the installer. You have the server side take care of that. Try psexec to execute the installer on the remote machine with any user you want.
