    Stange it is not supported, Vista is a total crap, but still it has been for several years in the market.
    Windows 7 now is used by many organizations, and RUNAS cannot be used.

    I have my own tool, which I use in migrations, it allows to FORCE upgrade after Nth attempt and also works in big environments,
    In SmartUpgrade user can always click "NO" and you cant force users to be upgraded in 1 month or so.

    User migrations is a longest part, as well as Testing part...   sad we have now problems with RunAs...
    Please remember, about security of smart Upgrade and SRunAs. :(

    Question
    Is the Smart Upgrade RunAs utility (SURunas.exe) supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7?
     
    Answer

    No. API functions used by SURunAs to run Notes installers as a different user have changed in Windows Vista and Windows 7. SPR# SHEZ844D2K has been submitted to Quality Engineering to request support for SURunAs on these operating systems. 

    For related information, see technote #1381191 -- Smart Upgrade RunAs (SURunAs) fails on Windows Vista or Windows 7 with error "Failed to launch process as specified user...".

    I have written my own tool, which triggers install of client automatically, user has 4-5 time to press not, then upgrade is forced.

    it also decides, which client to install, Basic or Standard, depending on memory PC has.

    Works with in Windows AD, Novell environments (no MS Netowork). also now working on feature, then for example Belgian users will use local file server, and users in France their server, even if they have one common mailserver

    We doing testing of this tool on one Enterprise customer, so soon (after ~1 month ) we may offer this product. :)
