We already had this function, they just made sudo into an alias of:
runas /user:AdministratorNo, that required the local admin account to have a password, which is usually unset (and the account is also locked). This uses the UAC system instead.
runaswill run as whatever account you specify, so you can absolutely use it to run something as a domain admin accountI think they meant you could use any account that is an admin with runas to elevate.
then, use gsudo. it uses uac and even has convinience features from linux sudo like maintaing an open session for passwordless elevation for a couple of minutes after the password is entered.
