If you're using PowerShell 4, you can execute the command using Desired State Configuration, which run as SYSTEM:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName ServerA -ScriptBlock {
    configuration DeployBat
    {
        # DSC throws weird errors when run in strict mode. Make sure it is turned off.
        Set-StrictMode -Off

        # We have to specify what computers/nodes to run on.
        Node localhost 
        {
            Script 'Deploy.bat'
            {
                # Code you want to run goes in this script block
                SetScript = {
                    Set-Location 'D:\Builds\build5'
                    # DSC doesn't show STDOUT, so pipe it to the verbose stream
                    .\Deploy.bat | Write-Verbose
                }

                # Return $false otherwise SetScript block won't run.
                TestScript = { return $false }

                # This must returns a hashtable with a 'Result' key/value.
                GetScript = { return @{ 'Result' = 'RUN' } }
            }
        }
    }

    # Create the configuration .mof files to run, which are output to
    # 'DeployBot\NODE_NAME.mof' directory/files in the current directory. The default 
    # directory when remoting is C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents.
    DeployBat

    # Run the configuration we just created. They are run against each NODE. Using the 
    # -Verbose switch because DSC doesn't show STDOUT so our resources pipes it to the 
    # verbose stream.
    Start-DscConfiguration -Wait -Path .\DeployBat -Verbose
}

Do you try to change remoteDeploy.ps1 to start CMD.EXE with elevated rights :

cd D:\Builds\build5
start-process CMD.EXE -verb runas -argumentlist "-C",".\Deploy.bat"
