Is it possible to switch from normal mode to administrator mode in command line? I don't want to open command line by right clicking and selecting "run as administrator". Thanks

In the past I have used a command line utility called Elevate to do this by calling it from the application's shortcut and changing the icon to that of the application. You could push this out with the install or via Group Policy?

The answer is no. The "full administrative token" is associated with an .EXE when it's launched. You need to start a new CMD.EXE to get full-admin privs. To make UAC a bit more bearable, you can enable "auto-admin approval" through group policy.
