UAC - exclude some programs
Hi all, My scenario is quite simple: 1 server (2k8 x64) with users connected via TS. Everything works fine, but there's a program that once it starts, it asks for admin rights. In the old server (2k3) this didn't happened (there was not UAC). Is there a way to exclude this program from UAC? I know I could disable UAC or set the policy "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators..." but this means that all the programs which require admin right can be launched without prompting anything!

I suggest you disabling UAC at all. UAC is not security boundary, anyway. At the same time, Explorer is not designed to work with UAC - try opening some homefolder and see, it will damage NTFS permissions! Oh no, do your users work with ADMINISTRATORs permissions??

Ehi... no... users don't work with admin's rights!

well, you may want to disable (configure) UAC for users only. Go to Local Security Policy, you will find some UAC entries in Security Options.MCITP: Enterprise Administrator; MCT; Microsoft Security Trusted Advisor; CCNA
