one of our customers uses and App, that has an SQL back end, and the front end client stores various settings locally in an ini along with a whole heap of files, and central files etc on a mapped drve
This package is updated by the vendor at least once a month, and the update has top be run on each client. On Widnows XP no Probs login as domain admin with local admin rights and update works. windows 7 No probs login as domain admin with local admin rights and run up date elevated and it works. Windows Vista you get a pop telling you "Due to enhanced security in Windows Vista this update has to be run as local Administrator" Yep you actually have to login as the local administrator, no other account the actual local administrator account, and then from there connect and map the drive to the share, and the run the install as and elevated user. I dont get how, it works on 7 as a user in the local admins group but in Vista it has to be the actual local admin. But hey the client pays us money to do this. :) On 3 May 2012 16:08, Michael B.
