Changing IP address without handing out local admin or elevated CMD

I am so lost on this one, I've been staring at it for 5 hours banging my head So! We've recently implemented Admin by Request and started removing everyone's local admin. One issue, 60+ of our users need to change IP addresses regularly to interface with strange obscure devices, and Admin by Request works amazing for everything else, but doesn't pick up system dialog elevation requests properly. We need an automated solution to approving this or we'll be getting hundreds of requests per day Testing done: Creating an executable that runs ncpa.cpl through Admin by Request - still requires a second UAC prompt to change adapter settings, so can't be automated Using the Network Configuration Operators group - This also grants the ability to run CMD as admin, which we REALLY do not want people to do, we'd prefer if script-based attacks had to earn local admin the hard way Definitely not disabling UAC Had a look at using Simple IP Config, a free software - was told not to implement an additional software unless strictly necessary, so that's a last ditch option Has anyone done anything like this before and has advice? Thank you so much for your help
