Help with running programs that require admin rights to laptop

We are not able to run java, flash, or shockwave on our laptops unless we
log into the workstation first as an administrator. Is there a way to fix
this so that the students do not have to log onto the workstation first as
administrator?
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy, we have have a product that enables you to remove admin rights on XP/Vista by elevating ActiveX controls, apps, scripts etc Avecto - Eliminate Admin Rights, Implement Least Privilege

Pushing out software that "requires" admin rights....

I have a piece of software that needs installed on 200 users machines....however the software requires admin rights to install. So, by using group policy, I can successfully push out the software to users that have local admin rights, but it will not install
on machines that do not have local admin rights.
Whats the best way to accomplish this without giving 200 people admin rights?

How did you create a Distribution point ?
To publish or assign a computer program, you must create a distribution point on the publishing server (I am sure, you must have done that already)
However, FYI... Here are the steps
create a distribution point
Log on to the desired server as an administrator.
Create a shared network folder where you will put the Microsoft Windows Installer package (.msi file) that you want to distribute.
Set permissions on the share to allow access to the distribution package.(Authenticated Users should have
READ permissions)
Copy or install the package to the distribution point.
Assign a Package
Computer configuration / Policies / Software Settings / Software installation
Right-click Software installation, point to New, and then click Package.
In the Open dialog box, type the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the shared installer package that you want. For example,
\\FileServer\Share\software.msi
Important: Do not use the Browse button to access the location.
Make sure that you use the UNC path to the shared installer package.
Click Open.
Click Assigned, and then click OK. The package is listed in the right pane of the Group Policy window.
Close the Group Policy snap-in, click OK, and then quit the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in or gpmc.
When the client computer starts, the managed software package is automatically installed.
Along with Software Distribution policy, you can set another policy "Always install with elevated privileges"
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer
This policy directs Windows Installer to use system permissions when it installs any program on the system.
This policy extends elevated privileges to all programs. These privileges are usually reserved for programs that have been assigned to the user (offered on the desktop), assigned to the computer (installed automatically), or made available in Add/Remove Programs
in Control Panel. This policy lets users install programs that require access to directories that the user might not have permission to view or change, including directories on highly restricted computers.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the system applies the current user's permissions when it installs programs that a system administrator does not distribute or offer.
Caution : Skilled users can take advantage of the permissions this policy grants to change their privileges and gain permanent access to restricted files and folders. Note that the User Configuration version of this policy is not guaranteed
to be secure.
Important: This policy appears both in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. To make this policy effective, you must enable the policy in both folders.
Hope that helps.

I have a program that requires Java 6. I am running 10.8.2, How do I remove Java 7 to run this program?

Try going to the Oracle site - they did have a page showing how to remove Java 7 using the terminal program.
I followed their instructions and it didn't work for me, but you may have better skills and luck than I.
This was my starign point;

If you are running Lion then you cannot run PPC software. Your computer would have to be capable of being booted by Snow Leopard in order to run PPC software. Or consider upgrading your PPC software or buying replacement software that works with Lion.

Help with Paint program.

Hello. I am somewhat new to Java and I was recently assigned to do a simple paint program. I have had no trouble up until my class started getting into the graphical functions of Java. I need help with my program. I am supposed to start off with a program that draws lines and changes a minimum of 5 colors. I have the line function done but my color change boxes do not work and I am able to draw inside the box that is supposed to be reserved for color buttons. Here is my code so far:

Merge Modul CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm requires admin rights

Dear all,
I created a VB2005 windows forms application using Crystal Reports XI R2 viewer and managed somehow to include CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm in a clickonce deployment package. What really bothers me is that local admin rights are required for the CR runtime files during initial installation of the programm (updates work fine as normal user).
Is there a way to avoid this?
Can I install CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi prior to the application with (different) admin credentials during user logon and removed the merge module from the clickonce package?
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards

With the parameter " /qb pidkey=your product key" Glenn delivered the key to a solution. Using the SysInternals-tool psExec I was able to install the CR runtime an my target machines remotly and the users could install my software with normal users rights without problems:
I used the scripts RemoteInstall.cmd which has one single line
C:\Programme\PsTools\psexec
target_machine -u Domain\pcAdmin -c
server\pathORshare\InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd
and InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd which contains these commands
c:
cd %Temp%
copy
server\pathORshare\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi
crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi /qb pidkey=my product key
del crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi
BTW: psExec supports a parameter @file with a list of target machines
Your anwsers have really been a great help.

Programs that require a network connection won't work because there is no virtual IP address available for this session.

Programs that require a network connection won't work because there is no virtual IP address available for this session. Per application IP virtualization is enabled.
There are in fact available IP address's within the dhcp scope. Before I dig to deep into root cause.. Could the problem be RDS CAL licensing running out, or isn't that not a symptom of my error message?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research, there is no any issue related to RDS CAL licensing. Prior to the issue which you are facing, there are some basic setting which need to configure.
Application Compatibility – Turn on Remote Desktop IP virtualization
Some applications require a unique IP address, which is by default logically not the case if the application is running on RD Session Host. To solve this issue, Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is introduced. With this setting you enable the IP virtualization
feature. When enabling this setting you need to specify if the virtual IP is provided per session or per program. When using per program you need to define the executable to which an IP address should be configured. Desktop IP virtualization also needs the
configuration of the next setting.
Application Compatibility – Select the network adapter to be used for Remote Desktop IP Virtualization
When you need to use Remote Desktop IP virtualization configuring this setting is mandatory. You need to specify the IP address of the Network Interface Card which should be used for this feature. Besides the IP address you need also to specify the network
mask using the slash notation, for example 192.168.77.201/24.
Application Compatibility – Do not use Remote Desktop Session Host server IP address when virtual IP address is not available

Installation problem any program that requires Adobe Air

Installation problem
I just purchased a new HP Pavilion Laptop running windows 8
If I try to install any program that requires Adobe Air I get a failure message that says
"Sorry an error has occured
The applcation could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file for the applciation author"
I have version 14.0.0.110 of Adobe Air Installed.
I have installed all widows updates.
I have removed and re installed Adobe Air but the problem persists
Very frustrating problem, any help or direction is appreciated

I have a similar problem and a possible workaround. Take a look at my reply: Installing air applications returns error

My MacBook Pro will not open any application or program that requires internet, even though I am connected to the web.

My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
I have OSx 10.6.8.
I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help.
To properly uninstall Norton software follow these instructions - Locate Symantic Solutions folder inside the Applications folder at the root level of your HD, launch the Symantec Uninstaller application, select the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, Norton AntiVirus & Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect entries and click the Uninstall button.
Confirm your decision when prompted and then enter your administrator password in the space provided.
Retart your computer & Norton should be gone for good.
If the above does not work, download a copy of Symantec’s RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility. This utility will launch Terminal & remove the Norton components.

App that need admin rights

I have an app they the support people state you need to login in as admin to run. I can confirm this. Even when I virtualized the app I still could not run it as a non-admin. I made a ZEN app and run it as a unsecure system user.
I think the software is poorly made, but do not have any choice.
Is there something is ZAV to make it run as a admin that I am missing?? The thing is we may be moving away from ZEN 7 to something else, but will still use ZAV.
M

$(UIt really depends on what the app is trying to do. One of the core benefits of ZAV is not having to be admin to deploy applications. For example, if an app needs to read/write from System 32, this can be done in the Virtual System 32.
The app may be checking the rights on the logged in user and seeing if it's in the Administrators group. If that is the case, virtualization will not help you.

Error with Run Program Service in invoke runbook.

I made main runbook (it do some things) and on the end i pute invoke runbook. In this child runbook i have
Run Program activities with Java srcipt.
When started this rb finaly i get error Could
not start Orchestrator Run Program Service service on 10.56.7.17 - Access is denied. (code 5),
but when manually i run this child runbook with any chaneges and this same date it works well.
In this Run Program i set that it ryn from admin acount but that don't nothing changes.
Where is problem?

When you run it manually (with Runbook tester I assume) the Runbook will use
your admin credentials to perform all of the actions. When it runs scheduled or with an invoke from somewhere else it will use the credentials of the user account you've assigned to the Runbook service.
As a test, check which user is assigned to the service (via services.msc) and make that one a temporary local admin on the target machine. If it works, then you know it's permissions related to that specific account.
I give up ;), Yes, I testing by Runbook tester. But not shure that we understand :)
I have two scenarios (i can't put images, i need to verify my account).
1) One runbook. Exp. name" child. Inside is Run Program, that program is on different server.
Its work only when in options this activity i set local admin account from that server.
2). I created new runbook - parent. In this I put invoke runbook linked to that child. I do not change anything else. Now i will try run it (from tester, web console or scheduled) i get error
Could not start Orchestrator Run Program Service service on 10.56.7.17 - Access is denied. (code 5).
What I do wrong, what I think wrong?

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you

'm new to WMI code writing, so I need some help with writing code that we can store on our server. I want this code to run when a user logs into their computer
and talks to our server. I also want the code to:
* check the users computer and find all installed patches
* the date the patches were installed
* the serial number of the users computer
* the computer name, os version, last boot up time, and mac address
and then have all this output to a database file. At the command prompt I've tried:
wmic qfe get description, hotfixid
This does return the patch information I'm looking for, but how do I combine that line of code with:
wmic os get version, csname, serialnumber, lastbootuptime
and
wmic nicconfig get macaddress
and then get all this to output to a database file?

Thank you for the links. I checked out http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx and
found lots of good information. I also found a good command that will print information to a text file.
Basically what I'm trying to do is retrieve a list of all installed updates (Windows updates and 3rd party updates). I do like that the below code because it gives me the KB numbers for the Windows updates. I need this information so my IT co-workers &
I can keep track of which of our user computers need a patch/update installed and preferably which patch/update. The minimum we want to know is which patches / updates have been installed on which computer. If you wondering why we don't have Windows automatic
updates enable, that's because we are not allowed to.
This is my code so far.
#if you want the computer name, use this command
get-content env:computername
$computer = get-content env:computername
#list of installed patches
Get-Hotfix -ComputerName $computer#create a text file listing this information
Get-Hotfix > 'C:\users\little e\Documents\WMI help\PowerShell\printOutPatchList.txt'
I know you don't want to tell me the code that will print this out to a database (regardless if it's Access or SQL), and that's find. But maybe you can tell me this. Is it possible to have the results of this sent to a database file or do I need to go into
SQL and write code for SQL to go out and grab the data from an Excel file or txt file? If I'm understanding this stuff so far, then I suspect that it can be done both ways, but the code needs to be written correctly for this to happen. If it's true, then which
way is best (code in PowerShell to send information to SQL or SQL go get the information from the text file or Excel file)?

It's not your wording that's at issue. It's the incorrect information you provided. Go back and read my reply.
I'm sorry but I can't help your mis-wording. I can only make sense from what you have written. Your location is the UK so I must assume English is your first language without other information to go by.
If you wrote the same thing a hundred times in one day, then you'd use copy and paste, too. So don't insult those of us who do.

How to run Power Saver without admin rights

How can I use the power saver (V6.00.04) with a user account without admin rights (Windows XP)? When I login as a "normal" user the lamp icon does not appear in the system tray. When I try to start it manual I get the error message that I don't have the necessary access rights.

@deloop
The Power saver needs admin rights to works successfully.
Either you will assign the admin right s to the user account or the user will be not able to use the power saver utility
You could also try this;
Right click on the power saver.exe and select the properties. There you should find an tab called security.
On my notebook it works but the notebook is set to domain and not to workgroup!
