      One of the issues I had with the ACT is that I couldn't save the log files unless I ran ACT as an admin, but this brought along the problem that ACT would only run in privileged mode, which allowed my application to run and ACT to create some additional mitigations, but still not enough to make the program work as a non admin.

        @Dashrender What about RemoteApp? Would that help at all?

          RemoteApp is just the application running on a Terminal Server, right? So that wouldn't help, because I'd still have to have it running as an admin on the TS.

            @Dashrender The app would have admin right on the server, but none on the workstation? Maybe I am misunderstanding?

              @aaronstuder You would have to give everyone admin rights on the Terminal Server.
