How can i logon as an administrator on a workstation machine remotely.

Ex: when i run a batch file to install some
patches with a logon script, with W95 machines no problem, but nt i get the message "access denied". Because the user doesn't have the administrator rights on the machine.

Thanks

1) use a remote control program such as PC anywhere, SMS, VNC (free, search on web) etc

2) Add users to local admin group on the workstation (either temporarily or permanently)

3) Get users to leave machines switched on and run a script (using AT) overnight (using local system account or an account with local admin rights, which uses shutdown.exe from the Resource kit to reboot or shutdown afterwards.

I'm sure there are other ways also
