Exchange Power Shell insufficient permissions

Windows Smal Business Server 2008
Exchange 2007
When I try to run the following command within the Exchange 2007 Management Shell, I get the "Insufficient Permissions" error message below, and I am logged in remotely as a domain admin!

Here is the command I enter into the Exchange Management Shell:
New-ExchangeCertificate -generaterequest -keysize 2048 -subjectname "c=us, l=detroit, s=CA, o=Private Name Here,cn=mail.privatenamehere.org" -domainname  exchange.privatenamehere.org,autodiscover.privatenamehere.org,owa.privatenamehere.org -PrivateKeyExportable $true -path c:\Users\certrequest.txt

Here is the error message:
New-ExchangeCertificate : Either you cannot overwrite the outupt file c;users\certrequest.txt because it is set to read-only or you have insufficient permissions to create the certificate request.

kuoh,
I had to Rt Clk and Run As Administrator.

Why would anybody have to do that when you are already logged in as admin????

This really is ridiculous.

Thanks for the answer!
