Log in as administrator with live data collection CD?

Subject: Log in as administrator with live data collection CD?
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 08:41:08 -0500 (GMT-05:00)
Hello,

    I am almost finished creating a live data collection forensic CD, but I've 
noticed it is slow (20 minutes when it should be 3-5 minutes) when running on 
computers that are not logged in as administrator.  I could use PSexec or runas 
or something to log in as administrator, but I have a concern that this may 
alter important information  on the computer.  The question I have is, what is 
the best policy when creating a forensic boot disk?  Is it best to wait for the 
information or have the CD log in as local administrator to collect information 
in a timely fashion before shutting down?  I do have the local admin password 
so that is not an issue.  I am talking about windows boxes.

Thanks,

Matt
