Is it possible to expand the PSExec action to be able to add the -h flag?&nbsp;

The only way to do that now is to not use PSExec as an action, but run PSExec in a command line, which isn't that cool.  
So +1 for this? :)  
  
Kind Regards  
Michael Koll

What does it do? I can find no reference to a -h command line option on technet : [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx)

I don't know why it isn't listed there, but a /? on PsExec.exe says:

-h&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the target system is Vista or higher, has the process  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;run with the account's elevated token, if available.
