Defrag without admin rights
Hello
Is it possible that 'ordinary' users could run defrag without admin rights? I want to give some of our domain users option to be able to run defrag on WinXP machines without giving them admin privileges? Can this be done in any way? Thank you in advance, Regards Miha

Defrag without admin rights
Yes I know, but if I do this, I need to give them local admin password so
they could run mmc or defrag with run-as options. Is there any other way to just simply set that 'ordinary' users could use defrag without any additional rights or typing run-as ... Regards,Miha "Derik" je napisal v sporocilo ... btw u would they would have to set the mmc to run as admin at all times.

you can make so a program automatically runs as administrator, without
giving out the password. Mha wrote: Yes I know, but if I do this, I need to give them local admin password so they could run mmc or defrag with run-as options.

Yes, this could be an option, but it is possible to encrypt local admin
password in a batch files that run-as defrag with admin rights, so that user will not see password in the file?

Defrag without admin rights
batch files show passwords as little circles, so no the user will not be
able to see the password.

Derik thanks for a replay. So far as I know you can make batch files that
calls a program with run-as parameters where you can add username and after runnin it it prompts you for a password. How can be achieved like you said that password will be in the batch file and encrypted 'little circles'? Do I need any 3rd party tool? Thanks again.
