windows services - How to run c# application with admin creds?

Question

I wrote a C# application that unlocks users when they are locked out of their account (Active Directory). The application searches for users in a specific OU and will list the locked out users in a ComboBox. Then you select that user from the ComboBox and choose unlock.

If you are logged in as an admin, it works perfect. If you are a normal user no.

I want to run my application with admin creds but under a normal user also as secure as possible.

I was reading that maybe program a windows service but I'm unclear on how to program my application to install, run as a service, and run under admin creds.

Answer 1

The goal behind this application strikes me as wrong. You are basically trying to create a means of allowing non-admin users to unlock accounts...which is, for good reason, a feature not available to normal users.
