The User Account Control (UAC) function has been added to Windows Server 2008 to provide added security.
The following describes the difference when UAC is enabled to when it's disabled.
A "permissions granted/authorized dialogue" is displayed when all users other than the built-in Administrator account and accounts in the "Administrators" group, attempt to execute a process or program that requires Administrator rights. For this reason, permissions granted and permissions authorized must be checked.
A process or program that requires Administrator rights can only be executed by either a built-in Administrator account or a user account in the Administrators group.
Operating requirements are described below.
UAC: enabled | UAC: disabled | |
|---|---|---|
Built-in Administrator Account | Y | Y |
User Account in the Administrator group | C | Y |
Standard user account | C | N |
Y: The program or process will run without displaying the permissions granted dialogue.
C: The permissions granted dialogue is displayed and the process or program will run if the user is authorized.
N: The process or program will not run because the user does not have Administrator rights.
To run a process or program without the permissions dialog displaying, for example in batch processing, use one of the methods below to execute with Administrator rights:
Use the "runas" command in the command prompt to execute a program as a user with either administrator rights, or rights to operate AdvancedCopy Manager. A password will need to be entered.
An example of executing the batch file named test.bat
runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\acmuser "cmd.exe /k test.bat" |
In the task scheduler, start the process with "Execute with maximum permissions" specified.
In the command prompt, go to the [Start] - [All programs] - [Accessories] menu and right click on [Command prompt]. Specify "Execute as Administrator" and start, then execute the program from the command prompt that was opened.
