The User Account Control (UAC) function has been added to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 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.
