Use of psexec is forbidden, as it triggers our security software (Cortex XDR). Windows has https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/securitybaseapi/nf-securitybaseapi-impersonateloggedonuser Can we use that to write a C wrapper program, to switch from current user with admin rights to the SYSTEM account, execute command and then exit(0) the wrapper?
