问题 We are about to roll out several hundred new machines running windows 7, with the OS installed via WDS so at the moment we can make changes and sysprep them into the build. The problem is a .Net app we wrote years ago which itself spawns a modified command shell. That shell runs a dataflex application that itself needs to run with elevated permissions. We don't grant users any general admin rights. Is there a mechanism where we can pre-allow our .Net app to run as administrator so that the

问题 Maybe there is a way to do it with Start-Process cmdlet that I cannot find? The other related Q/A's I found on StackOverflow such as this, this and this all give a solution to do this with a custom C# code. My question is specifically, is there any straightforward way to do this in PowerShell? i.e. you are in an elevated PS console and want to run a process as non-admin. 回答1: You can specify the TrustLevel with runas.exe , effectively running "restricted" runas /trustlevel:0x20000 "powershell

Inno Setup does not popup UAC prompt on Windows XP with PrivilegesRequired=none

旧时模样 提交于 2019-12-08 07:44:19
问题 In Inno Setup I do PrivilegesRequired=none . This setting should prompt the UAC, if the user has Administrative privileges. On some computers of Windows XP the UAC doesn't get prompted even though the Administrator is logged in, I verified this by checking the IsAdminLoggedOn setting and I saw that it was set to True . Why is this happening? 回答1: If IsAdminLoggedOn returns True , the installer is already running with Administrator privileges ("elevated"). Note that there's no privileges

问题 I have developed a WIX custom installer using C# WPF. I need to delete a file from "c:\Program Files" using c#. It shows error unauthorised. If i manually run with "run as administrator" it works. I tried adding manifest file and necessary changes. But it didn't work. I tried copying the same manifest file to a console application and it works. 回答1: You can do this by creating a C# custom action project and referring it in the WIX project. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jschaffe/2012/10/23

Removing Administrator Privilages from Process

问题 With the help of this great MSDN article, my first idea was to simply check if the process is using an elevated Administrator group, and using AdjustTokenGroups() I would set the Administrator group to SE_GROUP_USE_FOR_DENY_ONLY . Unfortunately though, we can't modify the administrator group on the currently running process as it also has the SE_GROUP_MANDATORY attribute, which makes it inelligable for changing. The MSDN document has this to say about it: The AdjustTokenGroups function cannot
