Allow Domain Users to install without password prompt

When accounts that are members of Domain Users want to install or remove a program from the computer, UAC prompts for administrator password. Is there a way through GPO default domain policy to allow people to install and remove programs if they like? Also, maybe restrict certain software to NOT be removed?

Hi Wizzler, if you at school or big organization that is there one or two image that you deploy to your clients I may have a solution for you, let me explain what Im doing in my organization which is at school, Im using deploy studio where I have 5 different
windows image and deploying them through Deploy studio but go back to the point before I captured image on the windows 7 of course computer is not joined to the domain you have to open computer mangment/ users and groups/ groups/ administrators and then there
just add Everyone that you ready for taking this image ( capturing ) and then deploying to the client computers and all of them have access to install all software and updated what they need with out prompting them for a password, but this need to be done
before computer is joined to the domain, for me is working fine, tested, students and teacher even if then know what is a server name there is no way for them to access it.
If you go with solution below then everybody can access your servers. I hope I was helpful :)

Allow standard user to install updates in Vista problem

Hi,
How come UAC is still asking for Administrator credentials even if the option "Allow all users to install updates on this computer" is set when a standard user tries to install the updates?
Cheers.

After setup the option, you might have to restart your PC.

UAC allowing standard domain user to elevate without providing credentials

I don't understand how this is occurring. We created a test user on our domain. Its only group membership is Domain Users. UAC is behaving quite different depending on which computer we test the account on.
When I login to my computer with the test user, UAC prompts me to provide an administrator username/password whenever I try to run something that requires elevated rights (for example: IE "Run as Administrator", compmgmt.msc via right-clicking
Computer and choosing "Manage", accessing another user's folder in c:\users)
When I login using the same test user to my colleague's computer (which was imaged and deployed at the same time), any of the above examples will elevate with a simple click of "Yes" or "Continue" to the UAC prompt. UAC does not prompt
for administrator credentials in this case and this standard Domain User account suddenly has local admin rights! How can this happen?

Hi,
Regarding the UAC issue mentioned, here are some suggestions:
. Change the UAC settings to a higher mode;
. Run gpupdate /force, then log off, then log on and check;
. Check to see if any
local UAC policies configured;
. Log on the Problematic computer with this test user and check the group membership;
. Create a new domain user and recheck this issue.

Logon with multiple users goes directly into user without password prompt?

I upgraded to Lion after Hard drive crashed and was replaced by apple even though I had Lion OSX they insisted that I upgraded which I eventually had to do.
The problem is as follows:
When PC is intially turned on the User selection screen does not appaer and the system goes straight into the first account created without password validation. All accounts setup have PW added to prevent my kids from accessing th PC. However if I loggoff the user screen appears and PW must be used. This does this on ever restart or turn on. Tried resetting & re adding the accounts but same issue occurs.
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks

Applescript "with administrator privileges" and without Password prompt

i,
I have to configure some phone settings in the central VOIP/VPN/Gateway Router via a ssh (with certificate) command.
There is only a option to allow or disallow the ssh access in the router. Therefor I wrote a applescript to allow only the specific ssh command "set /Setup/Voice-Call-Manager/Call-Router/Call-Routing/". To avoid the configuration access for anyone and to hard code passwords I have to execute this script with root permissions (do shell script "/usr/bin/su - " & user & " -c " & "'" & cmd & "'" with administrator privileges"). In any other unix implementation I can use "chmod 4755; chown 0:0". Even I compiled the Applescript and stored it as Carbon App, I get a user/password prompt.
How can I avoid this prompt or authorize the script/app in any way?
Thanks Henri

I agree, but to use the private key of the applescript caller opens any user the ability to change any WLAN key, VPN settings or delete the admin account, not a good idea....
Therefor I would like to run the applescript with root, "su - <adminuser> ssh router set ....".
This restricts the access to the router config to this applescript and I would like avoid the hard coding of the root password in the applescript.
I tried also the add the command to /etc/sudoers, this work fine from the command line but how to call "sudo applescript" from the desktop without entering the admin password?
Thanks
Henri

Allow Domain Users to Change Their Time On Workstation

Is there a way to allow authenticated users on the domain to change their time on their workstations? Ive added Domain Users, Domain Computers and Users to the Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights
Assignment in the Default Domain Policy but nothing seems to change. Ive forced the GP update as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Scottdog129,
Based on my understanding, you have configured a GPO which allow that authenticated users can change system time. However, this GPO does
not apply successfully. Right?
In addition to jkrato's suggestion, please follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to the clients. It is useful for us to narrow down the cause:
Click
Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
Resultant set of policy.
Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
In addition, if the GPO has applied to these clients, please check if there are some other GPOs have conflicts with this GPO in these clients.
For your information ,please refer to the article Change the system time to get more help:

How can I allow normal user change their LDAP password?

I use Solaris10 + Sun Directory server 5.2SP6 + Samba, how can allow normal user change the password themselves?
Thanks.

Depends on application you are using. I use ColdFusion and here is how I allow users to change their passwords
                    <cfldap action="Modify"
                         dn="uid=#form.UserLogin#,ou=your_ou,dc=example,dc=com"
                         attributes="userpassword=#FORM.newPassword#"
                         server="#servername#"
                         Port="#portnumber"
                         username="uid=#form.UserLogin#,ou=your_ou,dc=example,dc=com"
                         password="#form.userpassword#">

Allow DB user to change their password

Greetings,
DAD authenticated access to HTMLDB 2.0 on 10gR1 on hpux.
I have built a "account" page where among other things the users can change their passwords, I have built the page over anonymous PL/SQL (below). When a DAD authenticated user runs the page via HTMLDB, they get
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Error. Yet if I copy the PL_SQL as is into sqlplus and bind it... it works like a charm. Any ideas?
the PL/SQL
DECLARE
BEGIN
if (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_OLD_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL) THEN
if :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 != :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 then
raise_application_error(-20300,'New passwords do not match');
end if;
execute immediate 'alter user '||user||' identified by '||:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1||' replace '||:p17_old_password;
htp.p('Password Changed Successfully');
end if; --passwords not null
exception when others then
htp.p('Error changing password:'||sqlerrm);
null;
end;

The application parsing schema (owner) needs ALTER USER privilege. It probably works in SQL*Plus because that schema has obtained the privilege through a role.

Allowing other users to install software

I've just made the leap of faith to Mac. A very nice OS and I'm very impressed. I've used and loved Linux for years and curse the Evil Empire everyday because my work laptop is IBM. (provided by the company)
I have created an admin account for myself and user accounts for my 2 kids. I did not grant them admin permissions. What I would like to do is allow them to install software/applications into their home directory rather than the Applications directory. From what I've seen so far, each time they attempt to install an application they get prompted for the admin password. This seems correct if they were to install into the Applications directory, but what if they want to install into their home directory or another that they own?
Linux would allow me to do this so I'm wondering if OS X does as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks....
iMac 17" duo core Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Applicatons that are self contained and come inside disk images can be drag and dropped into your home directory.
They can in most cases be launched even if your a none admin user.
Application installers that are .pkg may be installing other components into the main system library as well as the home directory so therefore need an admin password. Also when creating an installer package the developer who created it may have ticked the box 'require root' even if it is not necessary.

Auto-Update without password prompt?

I have several 10.7 laptops that I administer for my company. Can I get the system to auto-install updates so the users without admin rights don't have to come to me for a password?
And, can this be done with things like MS Office for Mac?
Thanks.

This can now be done in the 15.1T branch using cisco.com to download the update directly, see :

Allow local user to install software but deny logon

So my requirement is that regular users are not allowed to install software on a computer, but if they want to install they could if an admin would come and enter admin username and pw on popup after they try to install something. Also 2nd requirement is
that admin user is not allowed to logon locally. So i figured i'll create local admin and deny him logon locally but then when try to install software it tells me that i don't have required logon right to do this action. Is there a way i could achieve this?
Thank you!

You first requirement can be satisfied by configuring UAC.
you second requirement can be set in security options. I would NOT recommend denyiong logon to the group administrators. instead you should create a custom (AD) group to contain your administrators. make it member of the local administrator group(s) (posibly
using 'restricted groups' GPO) and deny log on as you like through user right assignment (also possible by GPO)

Would you allow a user to install Oracle?

I have a user who has a "Course Technology Kit for Oracle 9i Software" that she would like installed on her PC (she's taking a class in this).
This kit is supposed to be for training, but it appears to me to be a full-blown version (although "Personal Edition") of Oracle that is configured to be used with the exercises she's being given. What do you think?
We currently run Oracle 8.1.7.4. Will this installation cause some conflict with Oracle that is already installed on her pc.

Is there currently a full-blown Oracle database on her machine? Or is it just the Oracle client that is installed?
Assuming that she installs the software into a new Oracle Home, there shouldn't be a conflict (assuming the existing install is reasonably recent). If she is going to end up with multiple Oracle databases running, though, that may tax system resouces like RAM. You may also want to create a TNS_ADMIN environment variable to reuse the tnsnames.ora file between multiple Oracle Homes.
If I had the option, I would consider having a DBA do the actual install. Just a little more bulletproof that way.

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.
