UAC prompt behaves differently on physical machine vs. VDI.
I do not get the 'Use another account' option at the UAC prompt on a VDI PC like I do on my physical PC.
Background - I do not have Local Admin Rights (LAR) on either the VDI or the physical PC (we are using a checkout account that has LAR access, which is why I need the 'Use another account' option to appear).
OS: Win 7
Group Policy Settings: Appear to be identical

Why is there no option for 'Use another account' on the VDI PC?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Rick,
This is a common issue with VDI as the RGS (Remote Graphics Software)
is unable to display the UAC prompt.
Most commonly, the UAC element is disabled over VDI
