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 Screenshot of UAC prompt on physical PC Screenshot of UAC prompt on VDI PC Why is there no option for 'Use another account' on the VDI PC? Thanks in advance for your help! Rick

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 Kind Regards, Martin If you find my information useful, please rate it. :-)
