UAC Blocking JAVA, Flash, etc
I still want to allow the UAC to run at a higher level so that the computer is still protected but allow certrain program to run and the users can go ahead and hit install for things like Java, Flash, adobe products etc. Is there a way I can specifiy which programs won't prompt the UAC without turning the UAC level down/off? Thank you! Alex

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. You may manually adjust the UAC Group Policy settings for the highest level. There are 10 Group Policy settings that can be configured for User Account Control (UAC). For detailed information, please see: UAC Group Policy Settings and Registry Key Settings Define the UAC Group Policy Settings Best Regards Dale Qiao TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.

Hi We have the same issue and none of these settings as far I can see really help. ALl our users are set as standard users and when adobe reader wants to update itself it asks for admin rights...which they dont have! So I have to do it for them and its a lot of PC's to go round ! Without disabling UAC totally or giving them local admin rights I cant see how this will work as no matter what you set it to it asks for the consent of an admin....forgive me if im wrong like but we havent had R2 for that long... Thanks ET

I'm actually having the same exact problem as evilturnip. Even if I lower it, it will still prompt them for administration rights to install which they do not. Is there a way I can centralize these updates so that users are not prompted for these update installations?

You can enable the ActiveX Installer Service to use Group Policy to specify Web sites from which standard users will be allowed to install ActiveX controls.
