Windows 10 standard user security permissions

Sorry.... that was a bit clumsy! The standard user account is now acting as desired, I'm putting it down to the changes not being picked up at first for whatever reason....
Thank you!

Standard user will not have permissions to install most nowadays software - admin credentials will be needed for that, mostly due to the fact, that the app will want to install to theprogram files folder, to which by default users don't have write permissions. Some apps also need to write some registry keys to HKLM to which users won't be able to write either.Now, there are some apps like dropbox or chrome, that will install itself directly to the user profile if you don't have admin priviliges(I find that a very shitty thing to do by companies that create apps who do that btw), to block them, you'd need to find out specific apps that do that and blacklist them by the file namean example of a few I have blocked for that reason :Text*chrome*.exe Security Level Disallowed Description Date last modified 18/06/2015 16:44:55 *firefox*.exe...

  • Is there a way to run Illustrator CS6 under a Windows XP standard user account?

    I spoke with Adobe Support over the phone and the only answer I could get was Illustrator must be run under an admin account.
    For those who may be interested in helping figure this one out:
    This is installed on an enterprise network, therefor handing out admin privledges is not the preferred solution. I have a privledge manager that allows directories and the files and folders within to run with administrative privleges so I was thinking with C:\Program Files\Adobe\, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\, and C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Adobe\ all allowed to run elevated that might work. Unfortunatly it did not.
    After further examination I noticed that when I try and run Illustrator as the user, Illustrator.exe will start under that users username, but only for a few seconds and then terminates with no error or event in the Event Log. However if I do a runas and use elevated credentials, Illustrator.exe runs as SYSTEM and opens perfectly fine.
    Anybody ever run into this or have any suggestions?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Please provide full control permissions on the following folders.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe*
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe*
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data\Adobe*
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data\com.adobe.*
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe*
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe*
    and then apply full permissions to the following registry entries:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macrovision
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe

  • Merging reg files as a standard User without UAC prompt ?

    I need to merge reg files as a standard user.
    When I run regedit.exe as a standard user, I get an UAC prompt, thanks to the manifest file embedded in the .exe which requires privilieges elevation.
    I would like to run regedit.exe as a standard user, without UAC prompt, to merge some .reg files in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER path (standard user has permissions to do so).
    How could I do it ?
    (I tried a dirty way to do so : I copied regedit.exe from Windows XP to an user folder on my Vista machine, and it works. It runs silently (after setting the compatibility mode to "Windows XP SP2") and merge correctely my reg file.)
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas.

    You can easily check this by viewing regedit.exe with notepad for example. Near the end of the exe, you will see this XML part :
    <!-- Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation -->

    And I've had another thought
    Edit the registry and change
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command
    to
    reg import "%1"
    Reg will import regfiles.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a registry key that is composed of merging the
    following two keys.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
    and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
    with entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER overriding entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    So to specifically edit for the current user only edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER and
    for all users (that don't have a user entry) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    EG
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\regfile\shell\open\command and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\regfile\shell\open\command

  • Project Server User Security + Custom SSRS Reports Project List Parameter

    Hello, below is the issue / challenge scenario:
    I'mnt. We have to remove the smaller chunk of queries that are hitting the published database to get the user security permissions. I'm using custom SSRS reports that are pulling data from Reporting database and other custom financial SQL DB's. I need to
    figure out a solution to get the list of accessible projects for a particluar user using PSI. I did find this technet article that addresses my issue in a way
    http : // technet . microsoft . com/en-us/office/ee862408(v=office.14).aspx#pj2007_ta_SecurityInReports_DevelopingThePsiProxiesClassLibrary
     the above solution means that I need to change many of my existing report queries (going to published DB)
    Is there a simpler way to maintain a table that I can populate with the Project GUID's, name , user id, name using PSI? I can then refer the existing SQL's procs, TVF's to point to this table instaed of going to the published DB (unsupported method)
    Any help/ direction is greatly appreciated
    thanks,
    SG

    Hello,
    The ReadProjectStatus PSI method defaults to Project for the Project Type, the value is 0. If you want other project types is gets slightly more complicated as you have to have multiple data sets for the ReadProjectStatus call, one for each project type
    - each time specifying the default projType. For example for Projects (0) the query is:
    <Query>
    <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/" Name="ReadProjectStatus">
    <Parameters>
    <Parameter Name="projType"><DefaultValue>0</DefaultValue></Parameter>
    </Parameters>
    </Method>
    <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/ReadProjectStatus</SoapAction>
    <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">ReadProjectStatusResponse/ReadProjectStatusResult/diffgram/ProjectDataSet/Project{PROJ_NAME,PROJ_UID,PROJ_TYPE}</ElementPath>
    </Query>
    For sub projects (5) it is:
    <Query>
    <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/" Name="ReadProjectStatus">
    <Parameters>
    <Parameter Name="projType"><DefaultValue>5</DefaultValue></Parameter>
    </Parameters>
    </Method>
    <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/ReadProjectStatus</SoapAction>
    <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">ReadProjectStatusResponse/ReadProjectStatusResult/diffgram/ProjectDataSet/Project{PROJ_NAME,PROJ_UID,PROJ_TYPE}</ElementPath>
    </Query>
    You have to repeat this for all project types you want to include, create a hidden parameter for each project type then create a parameter to join them up and use the combined parameter to filter the data sets that get the data from the Reporting
    database.
    For other parameters in the ReadProjectStatus method see:

  • Windows Update files: Security permissions has "unknown user"

    Ok, this is weird. I have 30 files added in a November Windows update with a compile date or add-to date of 11/21/14. If I look at one of the files. MsSpellCheckingFacility.exe.  I can see it is a legit file.
    https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e9dcf987838e9a70fca4e1b1dda217bd1e309cd4f6bac47402120f76aac6edc7/analysis/
    However, the security permissions on the file are strange.  The user TrustedInstaller is the owner.  Now that seems to be typical when the file is a Microsoft updated file.  However, the file also has a user added that is unknown.
    user ? S-1-14-21
    Umm, why is this?  Its 30 files like this all REAL Microsoft files....all apparently part of the update.  All scanned against virustotal as being revised about that date/time.  Did Microsoft release an Update Build with files as a part
    of that build that had Microsoft users still attached to them?

    Hi!
    This machine is joined to a domain? This SID with parameter "-21-" indicates a domain. If so, it is needed to verify on local polices if any user had permission on domain workstations enforced by network Administration.
    But when researching by SID "S-1-14-21" we have no
    reference, as parameter "-14-" is not commonly used.
    From articles bellow, we can find how SID works and the well known SIDs:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd302645.aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn743661.aspx
    As this is not a known SID, I suggest you to try to use the script on link bellow to determine who is the user account:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2004/12/03/how-can-i-determine-the-sid-for-a-user-account.aspx
    The problem can be a user account that had already deleted (this is why SID is not resolved to a name) or a problem on WMI component that is not able to resolve SID.
    If not successfull with article above, please post a screenshot on file permission in order to help you further.
    Cheers!

  • How do I get Flash working under 'Standard User' (IE9, Windows 7 x64)?

    I have a very irritating problem that I can't find anyone to help me  with.
    In Internet Explorer 8 (and now IE9), I can view flash videos fine (Youtube, Hulu, etc).  However,  when it comes to embedded youtube flash videos on various websites, all I get is white boxes where  the video would be.  However, if I log in via my Admin user account on Windows 7 and launch  IE, the embedded video plays fine.  This issue is present in both the 32-bit and  64-bit browsers.
    For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make this work with my standard  user account.  I do not want to change my account back to Administrator for  security reasons.  Let me tell you what I've done so far:
    1) Uninstalled All Flashplayers using the uninstall tool as mentioned in  other articles.
    2) Reinstalled using the 'Run as Administrator' option.
    3) Used a slightly older version of Adobe Flash, to rule out problems with  their most recent release.
    4) Ran System File Checker utility
    I'm out of ideas... please assist.
    Many thanks!!

    Under Global Settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l), check 'allow 3rd-party Flash content...'.
    If that doesn't help, see this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/3165341#3165341

  • Access Connection​s on Windows 7 with Standard User Privilege

    My company is developing a Windows 7 Professional image based on Lenovo’s factory build. One of the key objectives to this image is to get our users away from being Administrators (admin) on their systems to greatly reduce the security risks associated with admin privileges. One of the ThinkVantage utilities we have found most valuable to our laptop users is Access Connections (AC). In our initial testing we have found that AC does not allow for the creation or modification of connection Profiles as a standard user.
    Is there any way to configure AC so it does not require admin privilege to create and manage profiles?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    yes, the previous post is the correct one.
    Just one note, in case you want to deploy some network connections to multiple users, then you can use the .LOA files, where you can also distribute specific configuartion settings for the end user. All that is needed, once the .LOA file is on please is to restart the both AC services and you are ready to go.
    This is just a note, in case you have >1000 users which you would like to administrate.
    Cheers

  • Running under a standard user in windows 7

    We just bought Photoshop Elements 13 and when the user tries to run the program it run really slow and freezes quite a bit. This user is a standard user in Windows 7 no Administrative rights. If you right-click the icon and choose Run As Administrator it then runs like it is intended to. We don't allow our users to run as Admin so I need a fix for this. The only other thing I am wondering is that the computer is in a Active Directory Domain environment and we push our Group Policies to our systems. One of the policies redirects the users folders to a server share so the My Documents, My Photos, etc. are actually on the server drive not the local drive. Is that part of the problem? 
    Any insight would be awesome!
    Thanks,
    -Scott

    I agree with Erland.
    SQL Service account is used while performing any OS level operation by SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe). On the other hand, the account which is connecting to SQL Server will have it's own permission in Server/Database provided via Logins/Users.

  • Changing from dev to standard edition causes "Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user error code 0x6e."

    Hello,
    We recently upgrade our SQL Server 2012 SP1 (64bit) dev edition to standard edition, after we purchased the required licence and it was deployed in production.
    Since the edition change, we are now receiving the following error, with some of our jobs, which have an e-mail step in them, which is causing the jobs to fail.
    Msg 14661,Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 517

    Any ideas how to fix this issue? We were also having a similar error, when executing the jobs, but changing the job owner to SA has fixed this issue.

    Hi,
    Which user account you used for SQL Server service, domain account or local account?
    If it is domain account, are you able to log in to a machine with it?
    Make sure that the password of account is not expired.
    Also, grant the user Allowed to Authenticate permission and see how it helps.

  • Windows 7 OS with an Administrator and Standard User Functions

       While using this system I have noticed that when some other similar machine with this system seems to want an uneven non match. All mine are updated. I personalized the power scheme and desktop and not sure that the other wants it to be

  • Windows 7 Elevating using UAC, does not change the standard users setting, it runs the Admins settings

    When elevating privilege for a standard user using an admin account, the UAC runs the application under the admins account "user" and not the standard users account "user", the problem is that doing so, it does not change the standard
    users settings
    In this example, trying to change the "Check for Updates Automatically" as the standard user, is grayed out, you have to be an admin to change this. This is a design of Java.
    When you right click and run as an administrator, the option is no longer grayed out and can be deselected, however, this only changes that setting for the admins specific "user", not the standard users specific "user" the admin is elevating
    privilege for. as illustrated below.
    Is there a work around for an admin to run his credentials but elevate the standard users session instead of his own or some other way to set the standard users setting when admin credentials are required?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I understand that you want to disable
    Check for Updates Automatically option for standard users in Java.
    You can achieve this target by editing

  • Migrating Users and Groups from Windows 2000 server to Windows 2013 Standard.

    OK...let me see if I can get this question out the way I need to....
    I inherited a Windows 2000 Server that's on it's last legs.  We have a new server, a Windows 2013 Standard machine that we just recently purchased.  I need to migrate the users and groups over to the new server, but there are two things that are
    making it difficult:
     The 2000 machine is NOT a Domain Controller
    The 2000 machine is NOT running Active Directory
    This is a file server that hangs onto another network of which I have no control of.  It has its' own IP address and there is NO WAY we can run Active Directory or make it a domain controller.
    I have close to 300 users, groups, and printers to bring over to the new server.  Rather than kill myself doing manual input, is there any other way to do this? 

    Hi,
    When you import the CSV file to new server, you need to create a new user account then import the CSV.

  • Help giving some users standard connections, other users secure

    We've setup firewall forwarding and security, and everything works well over port 443.
    Need to also give some users standard connections, however.
    Have ready the manual front to back, but can't get this to work. Have done this:
    -Followed instructions for setting up SGD security services and firewall forwarding. As stated, it works fine if everyone is over a secure connection
    -Have ports 3144, 5307, 80, and 443 open
    -want to have some users connect over standard connection.
    Every time, I get to the login screen, but after entering credentials, it times out and says "No response from the Secure Global Desktop Client"
    Can someone please point to where in the manual it explains how to make some people connect with secure connections and some connect with standard connections? We really need a 'how to' as I find I'm chasing down disparate parts of the manual to try to figure this out and am getting pretty lost.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    You can do that, but it needs to open more ports, In the Array Manager Secure connections should be to 443 and standard connections should be to 3144.
    So from that starting poing, the users connecting in secure mode will use only 443.
    Users connecting in standard mode will use 443 for the first AIP connection before the login process, after the users loggs in, the AIP connection will be changed to port 3144.
    Believe me, I see that working from version 3.xx, and I tested it too in 4.30.
    So as the previous folk says you can not use only 443 for standard and secure connections.
    I hope that helps,

    Sorry me again w/ the MacBook Wh/2009 &amp; Osx Lion "stuck at grey screen" issue.  So I did as advised, but it shows the Recovery Hd, but it says it's locked?  Now what should I do???
