Windows 7 (may be even Visto or XP) have EVENT bound scheduled tasks.
The task is scheduled to run under privileged account and is triggered by certain event in event log. The event can be generated by unprivileged account.
How to do it:
As privileged account:
eventcreate /T INFORMATION /L APPLICATION /SO RUN_PRIVILEGED_ACTION
/ID 1 /D "Initial event for source has to be created by privileged account"
schtasks /Create /F /RU SYSTEM /TN PrivilegedTaskRunner /TR c:\windows\system32\privileged-action.cmd
/SC ONEVENT /EC APPLICATION /MO *[System[Provider[@Name='RUN_PRIVILEGED_ACTION']]]
As unprivileged user
eventcreate /T INFORMATION /L APPLICATION
/SO RUN_PRIVILEGED_ACTION /ID 1 /D "running privileged task"
