Running items that require Elevated access in Windows 7
We just added a bunch of new agents to our cluster and they are Windows 7. With Windows 7 there are limitations to what can be run in a standard command prompt or bat file. Many things, like starting/stopping services for example, require running in an Elevated command prompt or Run As Administrator. At the moment I am trying to get an agent maintenance build running which does a weekly defrag (c:\Windows\System32\Defrag.exe c: /v).
Has anyone found a way to run something from a TeamCity command line build which requires elevated access?
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
You could disable User Access Control (UAC) in settings of Windows 7 for the user account under which agent is running.
