Non-admin RDP support

hi all,
is it possible to allow non-admin RDP support in Windows 2012 such that a "super-user" can RDP into a box, and view "Task Manager" tabs, processes, services, network of ALL USERS, including "Resource Monitor" info such as DISK
files access (read/writes B/sec), but NOT MAKE any system changes  to the Windows machine, such as paging file, programs installations or removals, SHUTDOWN or RESTART box, ... basically a big fat READ-ONLY access privilege.
thx much for any thoughts,
Cos

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no such “Read-only” privilege.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards.

  • Should air support non admin app install/update?

    Hi
    Should air application support non admin to install or auto update for the application?

    Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
    var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
    Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

  • Flash player does not work on Non Admin accounts

    I have 2 citrix servers running Windows Server 2k3. Flash
    installs and plays fine as the administrator, but once logged in as
    a regular user. Flash does not work. I have set the security
    permissions for the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder so
    that non admin users can modify and write to the folder. That did
    not work, flash asks to install, but when you click ok, it becomes
    a red X. Any ideas?

    Hi all,
    Please see the following article that may address this issue:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/624850b5
    “After successful installation under the Windows
    Administrator account, Restricted User accounts are unable to
    display Flash Player content.”
    This issue is never encountered with a new install of
    Windows. It is sometimes encountered with older images and it is
    strictly an issue with the ActiveX installer not for plug-ins.
    Please reply to this thread with your results. If the
    registry fix mentioned on this article helps, we will update the
    document to reflect that it is still an issue.

  • "Error while printing" in non-Admin user

    I have a non-admin account (for my wife) in my iMac G5, and from some days ago, all applications refuse to print. A msg telling "Error while printing" appears, and the application trying to print crash in some sort of way.
    I can print the test page from the Printer Utility, so the printer (a Canon MP130) is fine.
    Entering with my Admin account, i have no problem printing.
    I check some help in Apple support, and as there is stated, i repaired permissions on both accounts.
    And the problem doesn't solve. Still, ALL applications gives this message.
    I'm not very tech in this, but i just note that the msg appears while the doc info is "going" to the printer, after i accept "Print" (spooling??)
    Does anyone knows what i can do to correct this?

    I never solved this...and still having troubles to print from the other user

  • Reader 9.5.1 Crashes after a few seconds for non-Admin users

    I have Adobe Reader 9.5.1 installed on some Citrix XenApp 5.0 servers that are Windows 2003.  Any time a non-admin user launches Reader it is open for a matter of seconds and then crashes.  It shows a Dr Watson crash in the error logs each time. If I logon as an Administrator, it works just fine.  I've tried reinstalling/repairing the installation to no avail. 
    Has anybody run into this in the past or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

    My company is into same issue but thing is that I cannot uninstall the MS patch as it will be vulnerability for our servers and we have opened a case with MS and they have reveiwed the proc dump and now MS is asking to get this reviewed with Adobe. I'm not sure how to reach out to Adobe Support to get the fix from them. Any solution on this regard, it will be great help. Thanks, Sayed.

  • Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Crash on start-up when run as non Admin

    Hi All
    Having an issue with Photoshop when run as a non administrator on domain PC's.
    The program crashes as soon as it loads up with the following in the event log :
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.1.0.148, time stamp: 0x53d97a8f
    Faulting module name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.1.0.148, time stamp: 0x53d97a8f

    Report Id: 1376e820-3a70-11e4-8f81-3417eba365e0
    I don't beleive its hardware related as the same issue occurs on multiple types of hardware in multiple suites and will run fine with an administrator.
    In our setup most users on the domain are non admin as well as students so its not really a poisibility to give all users of photoshop admin rights
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    We are seeing this issue as well, except Photoshop CC 2014 is trying to write into C:\Shortcuts, which is the location we redirect our desktops and start menus too.
    So far the only work around has been to use group policy to deploy the log file to the location Photoshop is trying to write to and set permission so all users can write to it.
    I've opened a support case with Adobe (Case number: 185963856 ) however their initial response is pathetic...."We may not consider this a bug" and they sent me the locations below which "need" read/write access, which is not true and not helpful!

  • Installing apps from non-admin account

    I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

    KJK555 wrote:
    +"That isn't a problem at all. Applications should not require that the user have write+
    +access to the application."+
    I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
    permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
    set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
    problems. That's the Unix way.
    I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
    +"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
    That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
    to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
    I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
    Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

    +"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+
    +and password when prompted. It does not matter where an application is installed in+
    +order for it to be given root permission."+
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    "Application installers, Applications folder
    A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
    or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
    being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
    not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
    logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
    you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
    with that account."
    That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
    "Software access=user access
    Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
    Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
    Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
    stated above.
    No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.

  • Lightroom 3 asks for serial number launching in non-admin account

    The following information was provided by Carey Burgess (Adobe Employee):
    Does Lightroom 3 launch and work fine in an admin account, but when you launch the application in a standard (i.e. non-admin) account it asks for a serial number?
    If so, then it is likely due to a file permissions issue either in the original (admin) account or with the standard account.
    (Although you need administrator access to install Lightroom, and you do need proper access permissions to your photos, you should be able to run Lightroom without issue in a standard user account.)
    Lightroom 3 stores registration data (the serial number) in a file called Lightroom 3.0 Registration, which is stored by default in one of these locations:
        * Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
        * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
        * Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom
    -  Check for the registration file in the appropriate location for your system.
    If the file does not exist in that location, then ensure you are logged in with the admin account (the one where Lightroom doesn't prompt for a serial number) and check the user-specific location instead:
        * Mac OS: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
        * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
        * Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom
    If the file exists in the user-specific location instead, then I would suggest that you ensure that you have quit Lightroom, and then move the registration file from the user location to the default system-wide location. Lightroom should now no longer prompt for serial number when you open it from a non-admin account.
    If the registration file did (or now does) exist in the default system-wide location, but you are still being prompted to enter a serial number when opening Lightroom in a standard user account, then that account does not have sufficient access permission to the registration file.
    To resolve this aspect, there are two possible solutions (the first being the recommended solution):
    1. Change the access permissions on the Lightroom folder that contains the registration file to grant "Read" access for the standard user account. (You can do this for each account individually, or you can use a broader group like Everyone.)
    For more information about changing permissions, see one of these articles:
        * Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419#4
        * Windows Vista/Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-are-permissions
        * Mac OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8342.html
    2. Copy the registration file from the system-wide location to the user-specific location for the standard user account. (You would need to repeat this step for each standard user that needs access to Lightroom.)
    Reply here if these steps do not resolve your issue, or if you have any questions.

    Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
    I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
    The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
    Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rog.

  • Custom resource/attribute not visible in FIM portal for non-admins

    hi all
    I have a problem I am not able to solve and hope somebody can help. We have created an custom Resource in the FIM portal called Customer. It is an User Resource Type and  attribute type customer, data type=reference.
    We have made this attribute visible in the Users Properties by editing the RCDC for Configuration for User Creation, Configuration for User Editing and Configuration for User Viewing. It is now visible for alle users in the FIM Portal.
    But when an non-admin searches for an attribute in that Field, nothing shows up.... only member of the administrator set, are able to display the results.
    I have added the Resource to Filter permission - Administrator Filter permission + non-administrator filter permission.
    I have added the Resource to MPR - General: Users can read non-administrative configuration resources?
    Can anyone help?
    Best regards Andre
    Andre

    Hi,
    To be clear,
    You have create one new resource type 'Customer' and one attribute 'Customer' (Reference, binded to Person object)
    Update RCDC for Person (create/edit/view) to add a picker attribute with those parameters
    UsageKeywords: This is an optional string property. You can define a list of search scopes to be used in the Resource Picker by providing a list of the usage keywords that are supported by the SearchScopeConfiguration structure, where each keyword is separated by a (‘).
    ResultObjectType: This is an optional string property. The resource type is used to render resources in the pop-up dialog-box list. This is used with the Filter to help the Identity Picker identify what resource type is returned by the Filter, and render the data accordingly. This property is mutually exclusive with the UsageKeywords property (see above). When the search scope is applied, this has no effect. The string that is accepted for this property is any single, valid, resource-type name, for example, Person. When the filter is expected to return multiple resource types, Resource is used.
    Modify MPR "User management: Users can read attributes of their own" and "User management: Users can read selected attributes of other users" to add this new attribute
    Create a new MPR to give the right of all users to view new resource 'Customer' on all attributes
    Is that right?

    Sylvain

  • When will the Non-Admin problem be fixed?????

    When will the problem of non-admin accounts not able to see all flash content on
    web pages be addressed???

    in addition to poor open GL performance, i've also had problems with any program utilizing antialiasing support. i recently sat down and called apple and had a discussion with their support line. while i didn't mention the poor open GL performance, i did mention the graphical errors i was experiencing with my MBP. i was told these issues are not normal, and have a replacment on the way. while these issues are some what numerous, i've not been able to find much more than a few articles or discussions on the topic. i'm hoping this means it is contained to a few MBPs and not all. we'll see when the replacment comes. if not, however, i'd consider a class action suit. the machine i bought was sold as a portable gaming machine, (apple.com/games/hardware) and thats not what i've gotten. i am very disappointed that apple has not even acknowledged the issue to let us know some fix is in the works. if enough of us make a big enough noise about it, perhaps we can get some sort of reply. i'd recommend you sending a note to apple as mentioned, then take some time to sit and give apple a call. they are very interested in listening to you, don't feel silly about calling about game perfromance, they are advertising these machines as such.

  • How to run admin tasks with non-admin account ?

    Hello,
    The title says it all: I want to allow some non-administrative accounts to run admin tasks which must be run as root.
    A solution would be to use 'sudo' and give rights to those non-admin accounts on the binaries used by the tasks. But I notably use 'chmod' and 'chown' in those tasks, and I would not want to give to non-admin accounts rights to run those commands as root outside the admin task scripts. But from my understanding of 'sudo', if I do it, non-admin accounts will be able to use chmod and chown outside the scripts. Is this right ?
    The sid bit could have been a solution I think, but sadly it is not supported on Mac OSX 10.5.
    Thanks

    I am trying to use the sudo route add command in a script, which should run as part of a vpn connection config file. I get an unable to run script error in the log.
    I searched and found the following older discussion
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1986808
    I tried that but I get a syntax error when trying to save the sudoers file I chose to save anyway.
    Tried to run the command from the terminal and got the following error
    postdrop warning: unable to look up public/pickup:no such file or directory.
    Can you give me an example of your sudoers file with the correct syntax etc.
    Thanx

  • Can't run programs from non-admin account: redux

    Background: I have years of experience with PCs, very little with Macs. I work with children in a group home. The tech support people who set up this iMac (OS X 10.2) have long since departed, and no one in the organization has any clue as to what changes they made to this system, and I'm sure that those tech people made some changes. For example, in admin accounts other than "root," either there is no access to the Utilities folder or the folder has been well hidden.
    The Problem: The boys in this home will use a non-admin account. The programs I have installed for them will run under admin accounts but not under the "boys" account, which is non-admin. The system tells me that the account does not have enough access privileges to run the programs. (Program that had been installed before I got access to this iMac will run under the "boys" account.)
    In discussions on this forum several months ago, I thought the answers I got here had helped me solve the problem. Then, for administrative reasons, I did not touch the iMac until last week. What I thought had been solved is not solved.
    From "root," using the "Capabilities" option in the Accounts folder, I have added to the "Add other applications..." section the programs I want "boys" to have access to. But this doesn't work. When I log in to "boys," access is denied: insufficient access privileges.
    If I give up on this system, the boys will not be able to use this iMac, and that would be a shame.

    I realize that it sounds like I ignored all the previous advice before I drafted this latest post. But the first thing I did when I returned to the iMac was to look at the posts.
    I didn't touch the system for six months. I was waiting for approval from administration to upgrade the OS. By the time I got the approval, upgrading was no longer an option -- according to the manager of the local Genius Bar. This system is not capable of running 10.5, and Apple will no longer sell 10.4. I can find 10.4 on the Net, but those are private sellers and the price is too high.
    Now that I've got that out of the way, the current task: I have no idea why, but the gains I accomplished six months ago have disappeared. The "boys" account can run none of the software I installed. No one else has touched the system. (I live alone.)
    I logged on as "root" and went to Accounts. Using 10.2's Capabilities function, I tried to check all the boxes for "boys." But when I close the screen and then re-open it, the system has unchecked "Open all System Preferences"; "Change Password"; and access to "Utilities."
    At this point I cannot create new folders under "boys." "boys" can run software that was installed before I got the machine, but that's all.
    I have to assume that I inadvertently did something that wiped out my previous gains. But I ain't got a clue.

  • Identify elevated process for non-admin

    Although it is unusual, unpriviledged users can run elevated under their normal credentials (not with admin creds).  This most commonly occurs with logon scripts run from GPO. 
    Running elevated messes some things up (particularly drive mapping).  Thus, I'm looking for a way for a script to identify if it is running elevated.  I know how to find elevated status for administrators:
    $identity = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()
    $principal = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal( $identity )
    $admin = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator
    if ($principal.IsInRole( $admin )) {
    # script is running as an admin
    But this doesn't work (obviously) for non-admins.
    This article
    is helpful for testing for elevated processes, but it doesn't work if run elevated itself.
    Anyone have any suggestions? 
    Thanks.

    Hi Cascomp,
    In addition, Please also check the script below to determine running elevated or not.
    [bool]((whoami /groups) -match "S-1-16-12288")
    The SID "S-1-16-12288" imply the group the current user belong to has a High Mandatory Level Label, and the elevated user has the high level, which can be found HERE.

  • More Non Admin launch problems.

    Ok, current setup,
    NW 5.1 SP8, Zen 3.2, Windows 2000/XP.
    I have a non admin user that I am using as a testbed to get our apps working
    without giving the users admin rights.
    The workstatiions are imported into the NDS, and the test workstation is a
    member of a workstation applicatiion group, which itself has a workstation
    policy ascociated with it.
    I have created a test application to test workstaion admin access, however,
    when I ascociate this with the workstation group it doe not appear in NAL,
    it does appear if I asociate it with the user but will not run, returning a
    "The system cannot find the path specified (id=3)" error. I have checked
    both the user and the workstation have read and filescan rights to the
    application exe. If I do start->run from windows I can run the exe without
    problems.
    I have modified the launcher config for the OU in which the workstation
    object resides to give it the following workstation related settings :
    enable helper (ws) =yes
    enable timed refresh(ws) =yes
    read groups for apps(ws) =yes
    watermark display property =default
    set app inheritance(ws) =0
    set refresh frequency =3600
    Does anyone know what I may have missed/not configured or what might be the
    problem here ?
    Thanks.

    Create a simple app that runs as an "Unsecure System User" and launches
    "CMD.EXE"
    From the Command Prompt it opens, try to issue a "NET USE" command to try
    and map to the AMOEBA server.
    This will verify that the SYSTEM account actually has the rights it appears
    that is should have.

  • Running Photoshop CS3 under a non-admin account?

    Is it possible to run Photoshop CS3 under a non-admin account with Mac OS 10.4.11? If yes, is it stable then, and are there any known issues?

    Buko and Ann:
    Can you support with some documentation please? A quick Google search has many sites recommending to create two accounts. I could fine none (quickly) that stated it might not be necessary. I'm not so much concerned with being right (as it would be somebody else that was wrong) but purely to know that all the articles I have read are also full of sh!t.
    I can assure you however that it is not a nuisance to work in a standard account. Certainly any maintenance I do is usually administered through the admin account. It would be a f!cking exasperating not to be able to log in as admin at the end/beginning of the day and manage these tasks on my time. In batch modding files I do find myself typing in passwords I shouldn't have to type, but I batch mod files infrequently and only because our file server is set up with no trust to individual users. I know if I change the setup someone will immediately delete someone else's directory just to teach me not to fiddle.
    Rich: I've run CS2 and CS3 (and CS2 & CS3 ;)) in standard accounts with no problems. The only thing I can think of off the top is that Sing system error which was certainly permissions related. I will disclose that my office is relaxed (gov't) and I no longer consider myself a power-user. Though that probably means I am closer now that ever. I click a button and the computer does its thing. No worries.
    I'm open to new ideas, and love to learn. I suppose the above is only strongly worded in response...

    I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me. So I was surprised that Adobe decided to stop supporting flash panels, starting with version CC 2014. I want to update Photoshop
