installing and starting programs for users without prompt for administrator credentials

Question

Hello everyone,

I am a sysadmin in a midsized company. We have our domain with Windows server 2008 R2.

This problem that i am about to present is troubling me and my colleagues for some time now, so i will appreciate any help or advice.

The following happens: we have restrictions for our users, between other stuff and the one that forbids them to install software that is an .exe file. So in general all of programs which they use are being installed by us, the sysadmins, this i consider a standard procedure in many companies.

Every time i install some software on users machines i do it from my administrator account. Then, when they need to use it, logged as users from their account, when they click on starting icon, sometimes windows asks them to enter my username and password. Why? I tried to do it logged as user and typing my credentials on every step - result is the same.

I can say that i tried everything i know, setting the "run as administrator" on and off, lowering the bar for notification all the way, watching videos, reading tutorials...in the end i can claim responsibly that i did the same procedure for the same user on two separate computers in domain, and first time there was no prompt for credentials, second time it was.

Help.
