Application Path: The path to the application you want to run with elevated privileges.

Project Short-Name: A “name” for the project, allows for multiple programs to utilize a single group for user access.
Service Account Name: The name of the Service Account that will be an Administrator and will run the program. If the SA doesn’t exist, it will be created.
Service Account Password: The password for the SA. If the SA exists, password must match existing password.

In the C:\Tools\[Task Name] Directory:
The .exe WITHOUT “_Task” (AdminCMD in this case) is the one that the user will execute. It is recommended that you place a shortcut on the users desktop to that .exe
In order for a user to run the .EXE and execute the program, they must be placed in the _TaskRunner local group. (in the example below, the Project Name is “Test”)
