Kace script to give local admin rights to logged in user in windows.

In response to a ITNinja question I came up with this method to script this without having to change the script for every user/machine you want to do this on.

We have had situations where we have to give the current user admin rights then take it away later.

Create a online shell script for windows.
Choose the proper Deploy system settings
Choose under "Windows Run As" - Local System
