How can I allow a standard user to run a program with admin rights without prompting for a password

Thanks to:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/ Basically, what you need to do is: 1) Move the Application to a folder outside "Program Files". E.g. make a folder named "User Apps" or something like this. 2) Select the app folder properties (by clicking with right mouse button on it), go to "security" tab and press "edit" to change its permissions. 3) Press "Add" and enter the name of the user you want to run the app. Press ok.  4) In "Permissions for -user name-" box, mark the checkboxes to give him full control (or just "modify") rights. Press OK and OK. Now your users application has the nessesary permisions to write to its folders. But the app may ask to write something in the systems registry.

I have created login account on my localhost\sql2008 Server (Eg. User123) Mapped to Database (default) Authentication Mode on SQL Server is set to both (Windows and SQL) But login to SQL Server fails with following message (for User123) Note: Have checked multiple time that UserName / Password are typed in correctly By default login failed error message is nothing but a client user connection has been refused by the server due to mismatch of login credentials. First task you might check is to see whether that user has relevant privileges on that SQL Server instance and relevant database too, thats good. Obviously if the necessary prvileges are not been set then you need to fix that issue by granting relevant privileges for that user login.
