Basic User & Local Certficates
We're running through a demo of VMWare View and Windows 7 Enterprise. All working well, except for one issue. Domain users, who are just assigned basic user rights on the Windows 7 desktops, cannot see the local computer certificate store. So, even though I'm pushing out Trust Root Certs via group policy, it doesn't matter because the local users can't even see them. While logged as a basic user and hitting MMC/Add-Remote Snapin/ and choosing Certificates, the only option I get is for the current user. No option of the local computer. This is causing a ruckus as we have a number of self-signed certs that we need the users to trust, but don't want them getting prompted to install the cert. Is there a way to grant basic users the permission to see the local cert store? Only Admins can see it.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. You could try to open a previously saved console. The process is like this: 1. As administrator open MMC | Certificates | Local Computer 2. Save the console (Ctrl+S) with name Certificates - Local Computer.msc 3. Log on with basic user open MMC and open Certificates - Local Computer.msc Hope it helps.
