UAC prompt when set default

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Reader on the same systems. When my users try to set one or the other as default to open PDF files, they get a UAC prompt.

That makes no sense. So you are saying users must have admin privileges or know the admin password in order to set the default application they want to use to open pdf files? This should be a HKEY Current User setting.

Why Do I Get An UAC Prompt When I Start Task Manager From The Desktop?

Windows 8 Pro X64
In Windows 7 Ultimate x64 if I start Task Manager by right clicking on the taskbar and selecting it it starts without any UAC prompt running in my security context. It is only if I click on show processes from all users that I get an UAC
prompt for an administrator password.
In Windows 8 Pro x64 I get the UAC prompt when I start Task Manager by right clicking on the taskbar in the Desktop environment. Why?
http://www.saberman.com

I think I see why we were having a disconnect earlier when discussing this. I had some time so I did some more testing and found the following.
Fresh Windows 8 install with a normal user account (non-admin) has NO UAC PROMPT for taskmgr, regedit, etc. It just opens under the current user context, same as Windows 7 did.
Upgraded Windows 8 from Windows 7 install gives a UAC prompt for taskmgr, etc. under the same situation. I made sure they were in the same OU with the same policies and the same UAC level. No prompts! That's the part that never made sense
to me. If you can run an app and then use your non-admin credentials at the UAC prompt and it still runs, why did it prompt in the first place? Makes no sense. And it turns out that it doesn't look like this is default behavior but something
messed up on the 7-to-8 computers I'm dealing with.
So am I missing some setting or something for Windows 7 to 8 upgrade or is this a bug?
I just started seeing that behavior on a computer that has a fresh installation of windows 8. For a few weeks after installation, it worked as expected. Then it started prompting for user credentials when running task manager as a non-admin user.
If I enter the credentials of the user who started it (the non-admin user I'm logged on as) it opens and works as expected.

UAC Behaviour when set to "Prompt for Consent on the Secure Desktop"

We are in the process of testing UAC on Windows 8.1. UAC is enabled for admins and the setting for "Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval mode" is set to "Prompt for consent on the secure desktop".
This results in the administrator having to go through three separate prompts in order to execute the function which required elevation.
First there is a dialog which gives the options "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows sign-in screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
Second there is a prompt to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter your credentials
Third there is the prompt for consent on the secure desktop.
Is there a way I can configure UAC to not have the first two prompts?

Hi Fangzhou and thanks for the reply. The action is just to "Run as Administrator" on anything. Perhaps I should share the full set of settings I have in group policy:
User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Enabled
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop
Disabled
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Prompt for consent on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated
Disabled
User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations
Enabled
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Enabled
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations

Hide values on dashboard prompt and set defaults

I have a prompt with 3 values,
1) Year-Qtr
2) Year-Qtr Start Date
3) Year-Qtr End Date
2 and 3 are constrained based off of what is in the Year-Qtr drop down. How can I get 2 and 3 to automatically have the values set and also be hidden to the user.
Is this possible?

Check this thread out for different ways of hiding dashboard prompts which is already posted in our forums:
Hide dashboard prompts
And regarding the populating the default values based on the value selected in the other prompt is not possible. The default value will always be a hardcoded vaule which can be in the form of presentation variable or sql results or an expression.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Audio Problems when setting default device

Everytime I try to set my headphones as the default sound device, my computer won't allow me to. I even tried to troubleshoot it, and it came up with the resolution of setting my headphones as the default device, but it failed to due to an error.
It only occurs whenever I use the program Mumble, as I am a gamer and I use it to communicate with my fellow gamers. So whenever I fire up the program, all other sound except what comes from it, goes to my speakers. I don't know if this has to do with the program Mumble itself, or the fact that I LITERALLY cannot change my default device. Please help?

What version of Windows are you using?
Also, could you please give me the exact model number of your notebook?

You cannot bypass the UAC prompt

We get a question like this at least once per week:
How can I bypass the UAC prompt when running a program or a script?
The answer to this question is that you cannot bypass the UAC prompt, and this is by design.
Please read the following FAQ for the reasons why:
FAQ: Why can't I bypass the UAC prompt?
The only way to run a program that requires administrative access (elevation) is to use
Run as administrator (either by right-clicking or or the shell
runas verb in a script). You can also schedule the program to run with highest privileges, but doing so requires administrative permissions already and thus does not constitute bypassing the UAC prompt.
The runas command starts a program with alternate credentials, but the program is not started as administrator (elevated). In other words, you cannot use the
runas command to bypass the UAC prompt either.
Disabling UAC is not recommended for the reasons stated in the FAQ.
-- Bill Stewart [Bill_Stewart]

If the command you want to run is something simple you can you psexec to run as a local admin on the machine. It would look something like this: Psexec \\hostnameorip cmd -s
I believe you can run a ps script in cmd with:
powershell -noexit "& ""C:\my_path\yada_yada\run_import_script.ps1"""
Might not get the same response but its a start. This worked for me when I ran a simple PS script to check for Windows updates and export to file on a DC.

When I seek to open Firefox it triggers a UAC prompt which may or may not be a spoof, and when I cancel the prompt my home-page loads off-center.

I recently updated to Firefox 3.6 but a prompt told me to update my Adobe Flash Player. I tried a few times to follow the directions, but nothing matched or seemed to be happening. Then, a pop-up was on my desktop the next day which I thought was the next step or a step I missed. The pop-up said a newer version of Adobe Flash was available. Somehow I may have sought to download the offer, then canceled. For several days there was no problems. All was fine until ZA scared me into buying an offer which did not work well for me so I went back to what I had before I bought then returned their product. When I log on to the computer now and click the Firefox icon to go to the internet browser, the UAC prompt asks me to give Administrator permission to Adobe DLM to download a file "C:/Users/my name/AppData/Roa.../getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe" This did not happen before I started changing my firewall and anti-virus provider back and forth. How can I eliminate the UAC prompt? Should I simply give Administrator permission and download the file? If it is legit, should I keep the file on my computer; and will I find there is an easy way getting it off? At the moment I am using AVG 9.0, the Windows Vista firewall is on, and I have a router. The odd thing about all this; I checked my programs I am able to uninstall and there I see is Adobe Flash Player 10 in the list of programs I have which was installed months before all this happened. If I already had the newest Adobe Flash Player, why would Firefox 3.6 tell me to update my Adobe Flash Player? More to the point, what is the best way to deal with this annoyance: The other user on this computer has no problem like my UAC prompt blocking immediate internet connection through Firefox.

There has been a security update of the Flash Player and the current version is 10.1 r85 , so you are two versions behind (previous was 10.1 r82).

endmethod.
However, SAP still store '1000' in database evenif we change the default value such as 100 when we use TCode MM01.

can anybody tell me how to do?

When ever i have set default search engine It is not constant It changes . It should Not change

Actual :-
I have set default search engine it changes every time when i restart Firefox 9.1 .
Expected :-
The search engine should be the same which was set previously

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

SDK: set default value to "managed by inventory" option when item creation.

Currently, my customer wants to set default value (as true) to "managed by inventory" option under inventory tab when item creation.
My question.
1. how to detect item master form in add/find.
2. how to set option default to be true.
Regards,
Kenneth Tse

Hi Kenneth
Okay, you need to do the following.
1) You need to see when the item menu opens and what mode it is in and then do the event. So in itemevent uou'll have code similar to
If (FormType = "AddMov" And pval.FormMode="Your Mode") then
***your code
end if
You can also just see the form and chesh the caption of the button.
2) to do the second part,
        Dim oitem As SAPbobsCOM.Items
        oitem = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems)
        If oitem.GetByKey("Item Code") Then
            oitem.GLMethod = SAPbobsCOM.BoGLMethods.glm_WH
        End If
Hope this helps

Can you control format when setting variable from dashboard prompt?

I'm setting a session variable from a calendar date prompt in a dashboard prompt, and the variable is referenced in a calculation in the business model. I'm initializing the date prompt from another variable which returns format TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00', and the initial load of the dashboard is successful. After changing the value of the date prompt, the query fails because the prompt sets the variable to 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
My question is: Is there any way to control the formatting when setting a variable from a dashboard prompt? I would like to get the timestamp format.
Thanks,
Greg

Set default value on field KNA1-AUFSD when creating Customer

Hi,
How to set default value on field KNA1-AUFSD when creating customer master using XD01/VD01?
I have tried user exit SAPMF02D, but all KNA1 values are read only.
Thx

Hi
Try to implement an enhancement option in include MF02DFEX. (at the beginning before call to FM CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '001'.).
and Initialize the value for KNA1-AUFSD.
In this Include you can see that there is a call for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '001'.
So even you test/check the initialized value for field KNA1-AUFSD is updated by putting a break point in this function module after implementation of your enhancement SAPMF02D.

Make sure you enter your Apple Store account with the correct CaSe on both username and password on the AppleTV. Make sure your AppleTV is in fact connected to the internet.

How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

Great question, this has been bugging me too!
So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
"Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
"ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers. This is both good news and bad.
Background:
One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
Solution:
This blog appears to have the answer:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
From:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
To:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?
