imho, think there is very little you can do about it ... rights are right. But depending on what this bat file is doing (assuming its issuing a bunch of NET xxx commands) ... maybe if you could map an admin share using domain credentials in your compiled bat file ? Since its compiled, might obfuscate the sensitive information enough to not be a concern ? Plus, not sure whether mapping an admin share will work.
