I find a solution, well a workaround, I run the following command:

cscript /Nologo execute-elevated.js %ComSpec% /c "net use \\myserver && %0 %*"

This open a cmd window, I need to type a login and a password and my
script is ran with elevated rights, this simplify a lot the setup of a win7:

1. fresh install of win7
2. connect with local user
3. open a connection to the server (with network login/pass)
4. double clic on the installation script (integration + WPKG installation + stuffs)
5. confirm UAC
6. type the login/pass to open a new connection to the server
7. let the script to the job

Set 5 and 6 are added by win7 compared to winXP.

One question remains, how can a script test if it's running with
elevated rights?

Regards.
