Bridge must not require administrator rights

Under Windows XP SP2, Bridge 1.0.4 requires the user to be an administrator in order to make the Find command operational. When invoking Find as an ordinary user, Bridge will always return an empty result set. Only when executing Bridge as an administrator, Find will work smoothly.
Please make Bridge's Find command work for ordinary non-admin users, too.

Thanks Shane

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
Jan

Adobe Reader Activation requires administrative rights - who?

I have had Adobe Reader installed for several years withour any problems like this. Now when I open a pdf file on Internet to read, it times out with a message (Adobe Activation - requires administrative rights to this computer) and than shuts down. The message say: "log in as adminstrator and try again or contact your system administrator". Well, I am a single laptop user and also the system administrator, I suppose, and I have not my computer set up to log in as an administator. How do I change Adobe Reader so it allows me to use Adobe?

What is your OS?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
Do you have any other Adobe products installed, e.g. Acrobat?
Can you open the standalone Adobe Reader by itself?

Why does WD Lock / Unlocker require administration rights?

It's really bloody annoying. I purchased the WD My Passport 2TB Portable Hard Drive because it had hardware hardware encryption thus it shouldn't need a device driver like software hardware encryption programs do. I've been trying to get a decently sized fast portable usb powered hard drive with hardware encryption and password protection that i can use on any PC regardless of account permissions for years now and i am still struggling. Don't you hard drive companies understand that people wish to use their portable hds at work as well as at home? The only company i've found to include locking / unlocking software that doesn't require admin rights is by Intergral but they don't do portable usb powered hard drives, only memory sticks It's obvious it can be done, i don't just get why no one else is doing this? Basically i've got a super small and fast 2tb hard drive that i can't take advantage of the hardware encryption / password software because of this silly issue of requiring administration rights to access a drive when password protected. My work PC runs Windows XP and when plugging the drive in (without a password), it loads up without the the need for an admin account.

The Unlocker is poorly designed. When a standard Windows user account connects a locked drive and launches WD Drive Unlock.exe (prompt pops up in AutoPlay), UAC (User Access Control) elevation occurs and the administrator password is required. That is a the fault of the WD programmers - they should not require Admin permissions to do a simple drive unlock when the correct password is entered. The Unlocker should be rewritten to allow a Windows standard user account to enter the correct password and unlock the drive.

I am trying to install itunes for my mobile, and I keep getting the message "You do not have administrator rights, please contact the system administrator to preform an update." I have it set as adminstrator as the user.

I am trying to install itunes for my mobile, and I keep getting the message "You do not have administrator rights, please contact the system administrator to preform an update." I have it set as adminstrator as the user. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Help please?

Thanks, but I've done that several times & it still says I need administraive privileges. I had itunes installed with no problems until I did the latest update. After that it just disappeared, so I tried reinstalling. Now I can't sync my phone. This is so frustrating!

ActiveSync requiring administrative rights to synchronize data with Windows Communication apps

We are currently testing W8.1 Update 1 in our corporate environment and have run into an issue when attempting to synchronize the corporate exchange accounts with the Windows Communication apps (Mail, Calendar, People). The first problem we encountered was
the requirement for each user to log into a Microsoft account just to access the Communication apps, this was handled through GPO by enabling the "Allow Microsoft accounts to be optional" policy. We could then launch the application, were prompted
for exchange server information, but then upon attempting to synchronize received an error message stating that "To sync this account, you first need to make your Windows user account an administrator." Obviously we have no desire to make all of
our users administrators, but for the purpose of testing we added the user account to the administrators group. The same error message appears! A quick search revealed that changing the UAC to a lower setting would resolve the problem, and sure enough we then
received a prompt to Enforce Policies and synchronization completed.
This can't possibly be the intention, that every Windows 8 user using ActiveSync is required to be an administrator and has to lower the UAC. We did determine that once synchronization has been configured, the administrative rights can be removed and UAC
can be increased once again, but this is a ridiculous option.
I would really appreciate an explaination of the reasoning if this is infact the intended setup, and if it is not, then what we are doing wrong. Thank you.

Hi,
In following article, you will see that the admin permission is required to do so:

Also, Microsoft's recommendation and best practice is that if you are a domain administrator that you have 2 accounts. One for your everyday user which is restricted in the same way that every other user is and a second for your administration role.

Can't deactivate to transfer - "activation requires administrative rights"

System info:
Late 2009 21.5" iMac w/8GB RAM running Windows 7 Ultimate (x86. x64 wouldn't install Acrobat PDF Printer so is pretty useless) on Bootcamp
I need to deactivate Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 (Windows) so i can re-install it elsewhere but just this morning it's started acting up - as soon as i open Acrobat i get a pop-up saying:
"Adobe Activation:
Activation requires that you have administrative rights on this computer.
Please log in as as administrator and try again, or contact you system administrator"
I've never had a problem before with this. I've tried logging in as the domain admin but still the message appears. It won't let me access anything at all in Acrobat except to click OK, on which Acrobat closes. I've just run a disk check as an Adobe support document suggested but no-go.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Update
Phone support is a lost cause. God knows how long i was on hold yesterday morning. Tried Live Chat support again, got through to a different and very helpful chap who told me that my Acrobat 7 Professional serial number was already deactivated and i could go ahead and install it elsewhere. God knows how it managed to deactivate itself but i don't really care, having fretted over this issue for the best part of a working day. Happy camper.

Firefox requires administrative rights on each start (Win7)

I have disabled all plugins, all extensions. The latest version of Firefox is installed (3.6.12 - 29 oct). On each start of Firefox Windows 7 asks me if I allow Firefox to modify my computer.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Adobe Reader Activation requires administrative rights

I open a pdf file to read and it times out with a message and than shuts down. The message say log in as adminstrator and try again or contact your system administrator. Well I am the system administrator and I do not have my computer set up to log in as an administator. How do I change adobe so it allows all (including the admin) to use Adobe?

What is your OS?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
Do you have any other Adobe products installed, e.g. Acrobat?

Can't install the flash-plugin. (I do not have administrator rights - work...) In former versions I hadn't this problem I think...

I can't install the flash-plugin... This, beacous I don't have installator rights... Earlier, in other versions of Firefox i could realy install this like other plugins. Frequently it was updated by other plugins...
The flash-player (for Microsoft Explorer) is up to date... (supported by our helpdesk) - I could not ask the question at our helpdesk...

If your helpdesk allows Firefox, they really need to allow Flash updates for the Firefox plugin.
If you download the Flash plugin installer and try to install it outside the browser, does that work any better?
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
<br>''Windows 7 (64-bit)''

Before hitting download, make sure to '''uncheck''' the box for the tag-along software of the day to avoid complicating things.

User dose not have Administrative rights, however the user is set as admin

Just did an Archive & Install of a MacBook Pro 3.1, upgraded from Tiger to Leopard , original thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2309825&tstart=0). I did all available updates, added it to an active directory and set all network admins to be administrators (did in root admin account). I even had the user log in and manually set their account to be administrator. Yet the user tried to update their Itunes and was prompted to submit account information, the machine didn't take their info nor did it take mine, i had to use the root admin account to upgrade the software. Is there something i'm missing here? Open to any suggestions.

no one posted to this thread
i ended up making the user a new profile and manually pulling over the users documents and files

Administrator rights required

Hello,
I installed the latest Flexbuilder 3 beta on my company
laptop. Installing went ok, which amazes me because normally you
need administrator rights.
But ones installed I found the same trouble back in the
debugger flash version. We do not have it installed, nor can I
install it because I do not have administrator rights. Is it
possible to somehow get a debugger up and running without the need
for administrator rights required.

How exactly does one give it those file permissions? I suspect this issue may (but may not) be related to switching from one kind of Adobe account to another, let me explain.
This is probably not a very common situation when it comes to the Adobe license. I work for a university, and my department paid for a CC teacher/student edition for me for about 2 years. The university I work for is one of 14 public universities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are united in something called PASSHE. PASSHE entered into a massive license agreement with Adobe, and so now I qualify for a CC license under this massive license to PASSHE, so I cancelled the individual account that my department had been paying for. Adobe gave me misinformation as to how to switch over my license, to make a long and miserable story short. So...when you say "file permissions" and "user account" are you talking about my user account on my computer, or the Adobe user account? And where, exactly, do I go to enter whichever credentials it wants?

Users with Administrator rights not being allowed to install programs.

I have 3 users in my office that are not able to download and install programs due to a security prompt that says that they are unable to install the program due to not having administrator rights. But in the users menu the user accounts are setup with
full administrator rights. Is this a common problem?

Hi,
Are they domain administrator or local administrator? Is there any group policy restriction?

I have installed Firefox 5.0.1 and need administrator rights to run it and have lost my list of bookmarks.

Recently, I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1. I now require administrator rights to run it. If I start Firefox with ordinary user rights, I am presented with an error message which says that sqlite3.dll is missing from my computer. This file is actually present in three locations on my computer. However, Firefox runs if I start it with administrator rights.
The spell checker no longer works, my list of bookmarks, which was quite extensive, has now disappeared. Also, my history has disappeared too. A security package which I used when
accessing my bank account has also disappeared. This was called Rapport.

Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Is there a way to prevent an account with no administrative rights to install firefox to their local profile on Windows XP?

Our users are normally not allowed to install any programs since their user accounts do not have administrative rights to their pc's. Has this been a feature in FireFox before?
We noticed that one user was able to simply download firefox, run the installation setup, and the setup would default to install firefox under their local desktop profile instead of the usual c:\Program Files folder.
ie. c:\Documents and Settings\userid\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla Firefox\
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? We do not want to allow our users to be able to install any programs without our knowledge.

The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.
