Working around admin rights

I have an application written which does certain features which require one form or another of admin rights on the computer.
-Read a partion as \\.\c: in windows for example.
Is there a way to get around the need for admin rights, like having an admin ok the use of the applications features forever?
Let's say I need to read a file on the E drive. The user will be able to open a bufferedreader for "e:\filename.txt" but will not be able to open the file "\\.\e:" due to an "access denied" exception.
Now this same user can read in the cd-rom drive with the above method, however. If the cd-rom is drive D, the user has no problems with BufferedReader opening "\\.\d:".
Any suggestions welcome.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

PC54G3 doesnt work without Admin-rights

Hi,
I've installed PC54G3 cards on my computer and the computer of my daughter. The PC of my Daughter runs Win XP SP2 and the card is a replacement for another WLAN card from trendnet because for raising the security level to WPA-PSK with AES (the Trendware Cards only were able to receive WEP). The router is a Belkin F5D7230-4.
The Trendware Cards worked fine for nearly 18 months, but now I've got a problem.
The card on my PC is working without any problems (on XP and also on Vista RC1, although I can only use the windows wlan configuration on Vista)
On the PC of my daughter it works also fine, as long as I am logged on as administrator. But she must not log on as admin, just as user. And now the problem starts. some times the card loses connectivity for a short period of time, and it doesnt get it back. I have to restart the MSi-configuration Utility as Admin (runas /user) because the profile site is not available as user. No profile site-no connectivity.
Adding my daughter to the admins solves the problem.
How can I solve this WITHOUT giving her admin-rights?
Driver Version is 1.0.4.0
Thanks a lot
(Sorry for my english)

X200 Laptop WWAN ATT Communicaton Manager 6.10 to work without Admin Privileges

Hello newbie to this forum....I have x200's I deploy in a corporate environment and we do not want to use the access connection software from Lenovo. ATT Comm Mgr works with admin privileges but when you remove it it just hangs and never connects. Everything lights up signal strength is good. Does anyone know where in the registry or what hack to get this software to work without admin rights?? Contacted Lenovo and they only want you to use Access Connections and ATT is no help either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks

Hi x200RQ, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community.
This is not a direct answer to your question, but you can use AT&T WWAN without either Access Connections or AT&T Communications Manager. Here are the AT&T instructions for this in Vista and XP.
This might get you where you want to be... tell us if that helps.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

AD users losing admin rights when working offline.

We have recently started using AD accounts on our Macs but a critical problem has presented itself.
Under 'Allow administration by' we are using a domain group called 'Domain Users' and this works fine when users are connected to our corporate network but when they are offline and not able to see the AD servers at login they lose their admin rights.
So even if you create a mobile account this settings has to be validated every time the user logs on.
It has been suggested to use the following command to correct the problem but this has no effect:
"sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a "domain\groupname" -t group admin"
Has anyone successfully found a workaround for this problem?

Yep. That is the side effect of the evolution of AD integration. Many more things are live look ups. Have you tried password protected screen savers yet? Yep, live call to AD. The reason this is failing is the domain users is an AD group and the system can not resolve the GUID without access to the domain.
In any case, there is a way around this but it is a little messy and it breaks the whole point of using the plug in to allow for a single point of control. If you are using cached credentials, you should be able to add the user to the admin group. Once again, this posses a number of problems as you are now injecting an AD user into a local account, you have no centralized method of removing admin rights from the user, and each machine requires a custom command (you need to issue the users shortname).
Now, you other option is to say, "it is a security implementation to prevent unauthorized access to the machine when it is not under the protection of out LAN." Yep, line of garbage, but the real question is, why do they need admin rights? If for installing software, that likely should not be up to them if you are enforcing a corporate standard. I generally can't find a good argument for permitting admin rights.

It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@

The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.

Firefox Silent updater will not work unless I launch Firefox.exe one time with Admin rights

I am building a Firefox 17.0.4 ESR package to use for my Enterprise. Everything is working great except for the updater piece. I am using the configuration.ini file during the install with the command MaintenanceService=true turned on, and a mozilla.cfg file with updates enabled, pref("app.update.enabled", true). I am running the install both manually, and through SCCM with Admin rights, including the maintenance service. After the install runs, I open Firefox as a limited user and go to Help->About, and it says Updates are available at www.firefox.com, and that the browser is set to the ESR release channel.
In all my troubleshooting, the only 2 sure ways I have found that make the auto updates work for a user were to run firefox.exe as an admin 1 time, or to install the base esr package as an admin after my install package. That will fix it for the logged in user only, but another user would run into the same issue. It appears that something is not installing correctly, but I cannot determine the cause.
My install command is:
Firefox Setup 17.0.3esr.exe /INI=%INST%\Configuration.ini

In my organization, we have removed Admin rights from all users, but use a product that can elevate any .exe with create a policy for to run with Admin rights. We have a policy set for updater.exe and it does work for future updates, just not this first update after install until Firefox itself is run as Admin for the first time. My thought is that when Firefox and the Maintenance service are installed with Admin rights through SCCM, the maintenance service should have inherited rights from that install. Forgive me if I am wrong in my conclusion.

SBS 2003 server admin rights dont work access denied on VSS and Network settings

Hi I have just taken over support for a company and have inherited a SBS 2003 Server.
The server has had no backup for over a year (when the last admin left).
VSS does not work, so the back does not work, unable to install any other backup as no admin rights.
I want to repair it so I can do a backup to move to a new server.
I did not know the administrator account password (the last admin didn't tell anyone)
So I used a password reset boot cd and then restarted Windows 2003 in Directory Service Restore Mode.
Copied SRVANY and INSTSRV to a temporary folder, mine is called D:\temp. Copied cmd.exe to this folder too. Next ran at a command prompt instsrv PassRecovery "d:\temp\srvany.exe"
next
Started Regedit, and navigated to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PassRecovery
Created a new subkey called Parameters and added two new values:
name: Application
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: d:\temp\cmd.exe
name: AppParameters
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: /k net user administrator 123456 /domain
"123456 is substituted for the password I used" Im not daft enough to publish it lol
Next
opened the Services applet (Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services) and opened the PassRecovery property tab. Checked the starting mode is set to Automatic.
to the Log On tab and enable the option Allow service to interact with the desktop.
Restart Windows normally, SRVANY run the NET USER command and reset the domain admin password.
OK so now I am logged in as administrator but guess what I still don't have admin rights???
I can add new user with admin rights and log in as them but they still don't have admin rights Im totally lost??????????? Help please

I'm thinking the previous tech may have renamed the built-in domain Administrator and then created a new account called 'administrator' with lesser rights? He then used another domain admin account to manage the server.
If so, and given the fact that you don't know any domain admin account usernames or passwords, I think you may be in for a move to a new server without a proper NT backup of the SBS 2003.
However, If you can at least log into the SBS 2003, I wonder if you could download and run DIsk2VHD and create VHDs (not VHDX) of the current SBS 2003 drives, saving them to an external USB drive connected to the server.
You could then 'attach' the VHDs to a Win7 Pro computer and gain access to the files/folders, although not the Active Directory stuff. Moving Exchange and Sharepoint would impose additional pain. For Exchange, you could log
onto workstations as each user and export their Exchange mailboxes as .PSTs. I believe you could do the same with any Public Folders.

Of course, the owner could also have his attorney contact the previous tech and threaten legal action unless he coughs up the correct domain admin username and password. That username and password belong to the owner, not the
tech.

Subscription - Win7 Installs without Admin rights, shortcuts do not work

I have a Cloud Subscription and have been trying to get things up and running on my PC running Win7 - 64bit.
The Manager downloads and installs the apps, but it appears to do this without Admin rights. i.e.
In the "All Programs" shortcut listing they are shown but without an icon (Just white)
If I try to delete the shorcut I am not allowed to stating that I need Admin Rights... even though I am the only user and of course therefore also have full Admin Rights.
The links do not open the applications.
I have set the install path to C:\Program Files\Adobe, but they appear to be installed in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe !
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows then C:\Program Files(x86) would be the correct location to install. As for your Admin rights if you are sure you have full admin rights please try temporarily disabling your User Account Control.

10.4.9 Printing Work-Around Fix - 10 Steps

VonB has already listed a fix in this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4234084&#4234084
Unfortunately the links he provided there are for a paid site, and if you don't have a membership you're outta luck. I've taken his info, used it and written what I think are clear instructions to help you be able to print in 10.4.9 until Apple releases an update patch. Special thanks to Vonb for pointing me in the right direction.
Hope this helps...

10.4.9 Printing Work-Around Fix - 10 Steps
Problem - Many programs will not print in OSX 10.4.9.
What This Fix Does - Allows you to print in TEXT EDIT. You can then save MS Word files as Text Edit files and print them. Hopefully a fix will soon be released by Apple for OS 10.4.9 or MS for office 2004.
What This Fix Does Not Do - It won't allow you to print in MS Word if you currently can't, and it won't allow Appleworks to work if it currently doesn't.
Difficulty - easy to moderate. Can you paint by numbers or do you tend to draw outside the lines? If you follow the directions closely you'll be ok.
Disclaimer - I typed this fix out for myself and have applied it to my 5 personal macs and 4 at work. It hasn't crashed any of them, but I don't want you to get ****** off at me if it does... so if you screw your mac up by doing this don't say I didn't warn you. This fix isn't for newbies.
Time to complete - about 1/2 an hour.
Special Instructions -
A. You'll need to be logged in as the administrator of the computer you're working on. I've written this help missive in real plain language. If it seems like I'm speaking down to you I'm not, I'm just trying to make sure you don't screw it up and send me nasty emails.
B. Check to see if TEXT EDIT already prints for you, if it does then skip to #10. (TEXT EDIT can be found in your APPLICATIONS FOLDER on your Macintosh HD.)
OK... here we go, THE TEN STEPS! (cue dramatic music)
1. Delete all of your printers in the PRINT & FAX set up in SYETEM PREFERENCES by following this path - BLUE APPLE / SYSTEM PREFERENCES / PRINT & FAX. If the plus and minus button on the bottom left of the dialog window that appears is grey'd out, you need to CLICK ON THE LOCK and UNLOCK it. You'll need the administrator password to do this. Once the lock is unlocked, click on each printer listed there and then click the minus button. Repeat the process until all printers in the print & fax dialog are deleted.
2. Download two programs from the net. (REMEMBER where you download these files on your computer.)
A. Download a program called CUPS from this site. http://www.cups.org/software.php?VERSION=1.3svn-r6326&FILE=cups/1.2.8/cups-1.2.8 .dmg
CUPS is a unix program that Apple uses within Mac OSX to print. Download version 1.2.8 only. When you get to the site, you will have FTP and HTTP buttons to select where to download from. If you're already in a browser, click on one of the HTTP sites. That way you don't have to open an ftp program.
B. Download and install a program called PRINTER SETUP REPAIR (VERSION 5.0.5) from this site. http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/index.html
PRINTER SETUP REPAIR is a shareware program we'll use to fix some issues... if this works I suggest you go back to this site and be a good net citizen and purchase the software. If it doesn't then don't buy it.
3. Install CUPS by clicking on the CUPS.DMG file twice. This will open the DMG file on the desktop as a hard disk image. Open the CUPS HD image and click on the CUPS.pkg twice to install the program. Follow the instructions to the end. After installation click close button.
4. Open psr505te.dmg by clicking on it twice. (it might be called psr505TE.dmg.zip. if it is, click on the psr505TE.dmg.zip file twice to open it, then click on the psr505TE.dmg file twice to open it.) Once the psr505TE.dmg is open, open the PRINTER SETUP REPAIR HD on your desktop. Inside is a program by the same name. Open it by clicking on it twice.
5. Click the "TRY IT" button, type in your admin password, and click the CONTINUE button
6. On the left side of the Printer Setup Repair dialogue window, click CUPS TOOLS icon. in the middle of the dialogue box, if the screen reads " cupsd is running" click the STOP button located just to the left.
7. On the lower right hand side of the Printer Setup Repair dialogue window, under the words "replace current cupsd.conf file with", SELECT "new cupsd.conf file". Then click GO. Then click CONTINUE in the next dialog box that appears.
8. On the left side of the Printer Setup Repair dialogue window, click on the FILE PERMISSIONS ICON. Make sure that all of the boxes in the middle of the Printer Setup Repair dialogue window are checked except for OMIT LOCALIZED FILES and both of the FOR ALL USERS boxes. At the top of the screen in the middle click on the PRINTER ICON THAT HAS A QUESTION MARK on it. In the window that pops up click CONTINUE. This will run VERIFY AND REPAIR PERMISSIONS from inside the Printer's Setup Repair Program. (I know, there is a repair permissions in the Disk Utility Program already on the mac, it doesn't do something that this program does. I don't know what it does, but this works and Disk Utility doesn't.)
9. Run it AGAIN! (the second time does the trick for some reason. just once didn't do it on three out of 5 macs that I used this work around on). This should allow you to print in TEXT EDIT.
10. If you are using Microsoft Word and you want to print something, you need to SAVE AS a text only file (File menu / Save As / Format - Text Only) and print by opening the document in TEXT EDIT and printing from that application. So far this fix has worked on 1 intel iMac, 1 lamp stand iMac, an eMac, a Macbook and an iBook. (Funny enough, my G4 sawtooth Mac running 10.4.9 works fine and prints from MS word without a hitch.)
If this fix works for you, i encourage you to go back to printer's setup repair's website (http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/index.html) and purchase their software.

Use the install disk that shipped with your Mac to "Repair Disk"
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.
Let us know.

ZEN Agent install without admin rights

Hi all,
Sorry to re-visit something I've seen a number of posts on, but I can't
seem to get things to work as I've been lead to believe they should. We
have a handful of systems that do not have any instance of the ZEN agent
installed, a mix of NT and XP (odd, I know). We are attempting to create
an automated process that will establish whether the agent is on the
system and if it is not, install it. Seems pretty straight forward and
I've been referencing the following suggestions. There are a number of
posts in the forums as well, but these were the most relevant.
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/3490.html
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10085696.htm
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/3383.html
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10073212.htm
The problem is, despite what these instructions say, we cannot install the
agent without having local admin rights. All the batch files are in
place, and work, but ultimately the install fails. I've seen work arounds
for any OS later than NT, but its important that every system have the
agent.
I've tried almost everything suggested in the links above but I am
primarily pursuing the batch file approach as detailed in...
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10085696.htm
At what point are rights elevated such that the install can complete in an
NT environment?
I am sure I'm forgetting some relevant details, so humor me please.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

I forgot that RunAs does not come with NT. ( It's available as an add-on,
but even that needs admin rights to install.)
Try PSExec from http://www.sysinternals.com, but I believe that will not
work either, but worth a shot.
Another outside shot is to push the "AlwaysInstallElevated" MSI installer
registry keys via a batch file.
Unfortunately, I doubt your logged on user has the rights to do this
either..............
You may be stuck manually visiting and installing manually.

Updating software without admin rights?

a few months ago, my mac was assimilated into a Windows active directory and all my admin rights were taken away (security reasons). I am fine with this for the most part, but I do have one problem. I can no longer update my computer's software without admin rights.
Doesn't anyone know a work around for this? You would think there would be a simple way to give udate access to a user, without comprimizing "security".
I am the only mac on the Windows active directory and the only user of this machine...if that's helps.

We have our Macs bound to AD/OD and shutoff Software Update, as well as other items that users should not manipulate while allowing admin access for other purposes.
It takes Apple hardware and software running to accomplish this, but Leopard will allow more of this type control while giving some flexibility to the user - if it is granted.
It's a tough balance - some users know what they're doing, most don't.
As for corporate/gov't IT - SOX compliance has dictated a lot of this, so don't be too hard on the IT guys.
As for timely updates - have you tried pleading your case? I know that if you try, you best have a set of reasons why you need it. If you can't do that, maybe the updates are only a pacifier.

Adobe Air and Admin Rights

Hello all,
We have an air app in our environment our developers created. Most of my users have the air app installed. Periodically the developers pushes out updates and my end users are prompted to update to the new version. But since my end users aren't admins on their local machines they can't perform the update. I have to login or runas my self with admin rights so they get the update. Is there a work around other than giving them admin rights?
Thanks
