Problems running TestStand 4.0 under non-admin account

I am having problems running TestStand 4.0 under a non-admin account under windows XP. I have done the following:
   1. Set full control protection to entire National Instrument directory
   2. tcverselext.exe was giving me problems until I changed it to run in window 95 compatability mode. Otherwise I get an "you do not have administrator priviliges to run this command" error. Don't know if this is the correct fic for this.
   3. Now when starting TestStand I get a "Retrieving COM class factory for component with CLSID {B2794EF6-C0B6-11D0-939C-0020AF68E893} - failed due to the following error: 80040154." error
Everything works fine as administrator.
Can anyone help me?

The Version Selector needs to be run with Administrator Access.  When you are running it in Windows 95 Compatability Mode, you are masking the problem.  However, once you set the correct version of TestStand, you no longer need Administrator Access to use the Sequence Editor.

  • 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...

  • (Windows Server 2003) Cannot run SQLSERVERAGENT service under non admin user after SP1 Installation

    Hi All,
    I need a hand here, referring to this knowledge base on Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283811) i applied this knowledge base, and it worked, the MSSQL and SQLSERVERAGENT have run under local non admin account.
    But after i installed SP1, MSSQL service is ok, but SQLSERVERAGENT wont run. The warning message is : "Some service run and then stop if they have no work to do."
    Is there any way i can install SP1 but in the same time run SQLSERVERAGENT under local non admin account?
    Your assistance will be much appreciated
    thank you very much in advance.
    Felix Adhitya

    Please go to the windows services list and check that the service is configured as start Automatic first
    1. run -> services.msc -> look for a service named "SQL Server Agent" -> proporties
    2. make sure the startup type is Automatic
    3. start the service again.
    4. If it stop then post for us the full error message from the sql log file
    5. move to the "Log On" tab and check what Log on you are using (this will be used for next step if startup type Automatic did not help, therefore write this information).

  • 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.

  • Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account

    3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
    The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?

    This is a permissions Error.  The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
    There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
    My Preferred method is:
    If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people.  ( win7,64bit )
    Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
    choose/click on properties
    choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
    Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator,  Click that check box.
    Click on  Change Settings for All Users
    in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box-  the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
    Click OK
    Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
    You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
    Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins.  I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
    Good Luck

  • Can't run programs from non-admin account

    I'm new to the Mac and rusty with -- but not new to -- UNIX. I'm working with an iMac running OS X 10.2. I have installed several programs in a non-admin account (called "boys"), but they will not run from that account. The "get info" screen tells me that the "boys" account is the owner of the program. Read/write permission is enabled. When I try to run the programs, I get this error message: "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges." I have installed the same programs in an admin account, and the programs run just fine from that account. I'd like to get this working so that the boys in the "boys" account can actually use the system. I have "inherited" this system from prior users. Programs that were on the system when I got my hands on it do run -- for the most part -- from "boys."

    Thanks for the reply, Ken. My various unsuccessful attempts to solve this problem led me to create a folder named "Programs." (I know, my PC roots are showing.) I did this for two reasons: 1) I hoped that this would give me more control over what was happening; and 2) I wanted to give the children with whom I am working an easy way to find the programs that I want them to use. When I use < cd /users/boys > and then do an ls- l, I see the Programs folder. An ls -l on that folder shows all the program I have loaded and indicates that the "x" permission is applied to owner, group and others. Moreover, I assumed (incorrectly, perhaps) that installing the programs using the "boys" non-admin account would make them the "owner" of the programs and that "x" permission would follow. Well, ls -l indicates that they are the owners and that they do have execute permission. I can only guess that the prior users of this system -- and nobody in this organization seems to know where they are -- did something that requires more than Advil to overcome.

  • 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

  • Run software update in non-admin account?

    I did some searching through past posts, but the most recent one I found was several years old.
    Is there any way to run Software Update automatically in a non-admin account?  I run in a non-admin account unless there's some task that really needs admin privileges to complete, for security purposes, but having Software Update not run automatically is rather suboptimal for security.
    So, is there any way to get Software Update to check for updates automatically from a non-admin account? (I'm not averse to using the crontab or launchd, if necessary—I've never done it before, but given instructions, I'm sure I could figure it out.
    Thanks in advance!

    Did some research on this the other day, to see if i could get Software Update to run in the middle of the night like Windows can do.
    Software Update requires Root powers, so when you give it your Admin Password your opening a sudo window of 5 minutes for it to complete it's task.
    Software Update doesn't check for updates while in Standard User becuase Standard Users supposedly can't do anything about it anyway and it would be a obvious distraction. "Mommy the computer....!!!"
    Apple should have a option in Software update preferences to let certain Standard Users know a Software Update is ready just for the purpose your explaining. I run in Standard as well.
    I ran some Software Update commands via the Terminal for a launchd just to see what I could do.
    Apprantly one can DOWNLOAD updates automatically with launchd in Admin, but not install them because of the need for sudo.
    I just misssed a perfect opoortunity (todays update) to run a launchd to do automatic downloads of Software update, then see how to go about installing them afterwards. So fsck me, I'll have to wait now. (unless i use my other machine! ahhh!!)
    Anyway the program you want is this little gem: Lingon 
    it's on Sourceforge (grab the image)
    Ok so that takes care of the Software update downloads (man softwareupdate in Terminal for commands)
    /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --download --all
    Will do the automatic downloads, now it's just a script away to let you know ( a nice pop up window) that you have something in your folder where the Software Update just downloaded into.
    That's the next question is where that is and how to run it.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 in non-admin account?

I have read the Adobe site and see that it is intended to run only in and Admin account, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of several accounts. I tried letting the rebuild the mediadatabase.db3 file as suggested here,

    I've tried burning cd's in my usual windows account (limited) and it comes up with the error message "disc burner or software not found", but when I log into my admin account and try and burn an mp3 then it burns just fine. I wonder if they changed the way version 7 burns cd's...

  • IChat doesn't display OD users for non admin account

    I have a Mac Mini SL server with iChat service running. When I add an Admin account (Account with admin privilege to work group manager) it can see other accounts and groups. However, when I add a non admin account it doesn't see any user nor group!

    This means that this user is not allowed to use the iChat services. In sever admin - access, you get to set who or what type of users / group, etc is allowed access to which services. Did you check that?
    Unfortunately I don't see that! I'm using Server Admin 10.6.3 and when I click on the iChat service it displays three tabs only; Overview, Logs, Settings where settings has two sub tabs (General and Logging).
    There isn't any option where I can define whom can or cannot access iChat service in Server Admin.
    Under the Setting's General tab I have:

  • Restoring admin account from non-admin account

    For a while I've had a problems booting and logging in, which is either a HD or corruption problem, but once in to my admin account, I'm fine for the rest of the day. (This isn't a question about these problems, I know I must do something separately about that.)
    This morning I had greater problems than usual, followed by a problem in my admin account - having saved a document once, the next time I got ("[document] could not be saved"). So I restarted, but couldn't get from my login account to my main admin account (after the login details box disappeared, I was left with the empty Leopard splash screen). A second restart brought the same result. I can assume my admin account has some corruption?
    I'd like to restore the admin account from the Users folder on yesterday's Time Machine backup, but how do I do that from one of my other accounts, all of which are non-admin accounts?

    2. They put Leopard on my machine as - incredibly - they didn't have Tiger install disks, but they couldn't give me the Leopard install disks so I can't do a system restore.
    That's a violation of the license. Legally, you're running pirated software. Worse, you can't restore OSX or Apple apps, repair your internal HD, do a full system restore from your TM backups, etc.
    You need a retail Leopard disc, period. If the folks who installed it won't supply it (you might gently suggest that you'll report them to Apple), call AppleCare and pay the $129. If you're going to run Leopard, you need to pay for it.
    Or, return to Tiger. On your EHD running Tiger, use the Restore tab to copy the entire Tiger OSX volume to the internal HD. Be sure to check the +Erase destination+ box. That will, of course, erase everything on your Leopard installation. You might be able to copy some of the data elsewhere temporarily, then copy it back, but any data used by Leopard may not work with the Tiger apps.
    I've now determined, by trying to login to the iMac HD via Restart+option that my admin account is corrupted - I can login to every other account but not that one.
    However, as I explained, i can see all its folders and files via the Tiger account with the same name and password. Here is a possible action plan, let me know what you think?
    Does that sound workable?
    Doubtful.

  • ITunes sharing on Vista non-admin account

    I've looked fairly hard and can't find any reference to exactly this problem. Any ideas?
    Setup is a home network of 3 macs and 2 pc laptops, based around a NetGear DG834Gv2. 2 macs running 10.5.4, other mac running Tiger, PCs running Vista. All updates applied.
    All iTunes sharing works across all machines except that the Vista laptops won't access the shared music on the other machines when using a non-admin account. They work fine when logged in as admin but give "can't access shared library (-39), Check firewall allows access to port 3689" etc. when logged in as normal user. The Windows Firewall is off and I've tried turning off the Norton firewall that was pre-installed as part of the security setup - no different.
    The macs can see the music shared from the PCs - just not the other way round.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Pete

    I have the same setup as yourself (standard user for everyday use, admin user for software install and system settings change) and I was able to set up FMM in the admin account with no problems, except some pre-requisites: while logged in to the admin profile you have to 1) install the Lion HD Recovery Update, 2) enable location services in the Security & Privacy PrefPane and 3) enable Wake For Network Access in the Power Adapter section of the Energy Saver PrefPane.
    I didn't want to set up iCloud sync in the admin profile but Apple made me to. Anyway, it seems I don't have to stay logged in to the admin account for FMM to work. You'll notice that, even though FMM has been configured on the admin account, it will still appear as "authorization required" in the standard account.
    I hope this helps.

  • Non-Admin Account Internet Trouble

    I just updated to Yosemite from one of my non-admin account on my computer after the update some websites (only on this non-admin user, i have other not having this problem) like google, iCloud, etc (trusted ones). I didn't know what it was so i tried and made the user and administrator and the problem disappeared and the websites loaded again. So i supposed it was on the parental control so i de-admin the user again and turned the parental controls off to see if that was the problem but the pages didn't not load. Is there any other setting that not being and admin adds? Were could i fix it our how? Please help

    I just followed the procedure described here for the same problem under OSX 10.8.2. No luck. Yosemite account with parental control cannot access SSL sites even when web sites are not set to be filtered. There is no warning about the site being blocked. The SSL site simply times out. The particulars are in the article, but here is a summary of the steps:
    Create a new account, if not too much trouble, and start from scratch.
    Try removing the parental control content filter settings manually by deleting com.apple.familycontrols.contentfilter.plist.
    Try remove all parental control settings by deleting the entire parental settings folder.
    Try giving the account admin privileges and then remove them again and restore parental controls.
    I have tried all of these things under Yosemite, but as soon as the account goes back to being under parental controls, the problem immediately returns.
