Ive got two workstations that both have windows 7 64 bit installed.When I enable remote desktop on one to get into the other with network level authentication I am not allowed to login with Admin.However if I try to log in with a user I can get into it. Ive made sure to all selected Users and allowed Admin but it is called Administrator. I thought about going to user accounts and rename Admin to Administrator but i get an error with it saying it already exists.
I have a special case where a user needs to run an installed executable as an admin. This exe was written for XP and will only work properly when ran as admin. I do not want the user to have an admin account or the admin pass, but he needs to be able to start and stop this program at will. I have tried checking the box to always run as admin, creating a desktop shortcut to run as admin and I even tried creating a shortcut that uses the command line runas /savecred but all attempts failed. Windows 7 always asks for the admin pass. I understand this is how it is supposed to be, but are there any options available to me? If I turn off UAC will that do the trick? But will turning off UAC override the GPO I have setup for non-admins?
I'm building a Windows 7 PRo PC for a local club and want to lock down the PC. I have setup an Admin account, and set the main user account as a Standard account. I also want them to be able to use W7 Backup/Restore to backup the Standard Users "My Documents" folder to memory stick on a weekly basis. However, Backup/Restore will only run:
1. From the Administrator account , or 2. When executed from the Standard account it requests the administrator Password.
So in other words, it appears that for a Standard user to run a backup they need Admin rights? Kind of defeats the purpose of having a Standard account in this scenario. Is there any way to confer specific "rights" to a User account or Profile to access/execute specific programs? In this case allow a Standard User account the normal access, plus Backup/Restore (only) with conferred Admin rights?
I recently edit my Group Policies in Windows 7 x64. I disabled several SQL accounts and set those accounts to deny logon locally. When I rebooted the machine none of my accounts can log in. The machine is not a domain controller, but the error is along the lines of this type of login is not allowed on this machine. How do I resolve this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro. I have remove the login pw in my user account now I do not need to do the login and able to use the computer right away. But I found I am using the computer as a user not administrator. How can I skip the login screen and go straight into desktop as administrator.
When my partner set up my brand new PC he set up an account in my name, so there are now two accounts on the machine, Admin and Mine. I can use my account for most daily things, but I need to be the Administrator because I don't have rights to do some stuff. Problem is he's forgot the Admin password .... so I can't log in as the Admin. What can I do? How do I change this password?
I upgraded my OS a few months ago to 64 bit with new components etc. I kept all of the old system files and folders JUST for if it went wrong, now ive sorted them all out, the old system files, and adobe is locked for some reason? I keep trying to change all of the administration but it just jumps straight back to before, but hey, im in no hurry to change it, its only 15gb of useless copies! Its just niggling at me and i would like to get it sorted if theres any other way? ie changing the admin account so i can change - everything-, as I'm not exactly new with computers, been studying them for years.
- Also, a little off topic if anyones got enough time to add some wisdom to the thread, ive just bought a super duper cooler for my CPU as when i run on normal settings on a game I play, LotrO, the manufacturers fan goes mad, and it really gets my goat making a loud whirring sound, would I be able to run on High-Ultra with a duel core amd athlon 2? with that fan I have "Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 CPU Cooler" it wouldnt make any sound as its made for being quiet and cool very well. i suppose the only sign of the strain is artifacts in-game?
I recently was given a laptop to fix up by my brother in law that seems to be infected with a nasty troublesome Trojan.Anyways I cannot login to his username with the password he has provided me with and he has some documents that he would like me to backup if possible.o, I was wondering if their is a way to get into the hidden admin account within the login screen, I hate how Microsoft disabled the feature of hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del to get into the admin account. So I was just wondering if their was another way to get in, I've already tried Safe Mode and the hidden Admin account doesn't pop up.
I have an administrator user login account and a standard login account? When I try to login to the administrator, it just hangs and I have to reboot. I can login to my standard account just fine however.
I need to have a login name with a password and admin permissions but don't want to disturb the usual user by forcing a choice of logins where before her PC just opened for her automatically.I do a bit of support for some U3A folk and want to install Teamviewer on some of their machines to do remote support. To be validated across the network or Internet, I need to have a passworded login and don't want to use their login names (many without passwords!) but only one of my choice or preferably the 'hidden' Administrator account (best for full access).Is it possible to have access to Administrator (I know how to enable it) and not spread confusion by having it plastered on the login screen?
I have a emachine laptop with a factory reset option. So I've reset it a few times. Trying to keep it at a good running speed. The last time I factory reset my laptop,, it stopped 3/4s the way through. I restarted it (its happened once or twice before and normally would have continued. Well now it won't let me in to the administrator and I can't do anything. Is there not away to reset it without disk. My laptop doesn't have a cd tray or maybe windows has a default password? I have my serial number. I've tried typing admin. I never had passwords before...
I have 2 accounts set in my windows 7 PC- admin & standard. Is it possible to prevent safe mode login for the standard a/c? I mean when the standard user will try to enter in safe mode, he/she will be denied access (may be force shutdown or a prompt to enter some password set by me). If there is any 3rd party tool to do so, you can suggest me that as well.
we upgraded from sbs2003 server to sbs2008 server. We removed the pc from the old domain and then added it to the new domain. Something went wrong after we joined the new domain it doesn't see the new domain for login and the local Administrator account has been disabled. The only account available is the guest account. Is there a way to enable the local administrator account again?
So a new box recently built, when booted, defaults to the local administrator account.This is a Windows 7 machine for a Linux guru that doesn't want to be bothered pressing more buttons than is necessary, if you get my drift. So my question is, after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del...how do I dictate to Windows that the preferred used is "HisDomainAccount" on our company domain, as opposed to the local admin account?
i have 2 ddr3 2gb's in my laptop, i have patched it so it can run 4+gb of ram on 32x and can tell a massive difference, however if i was to put ubuntu on second drive will 4gb still take place?
I am trying to change the folder properties of a applications folder from read only. I am doing this per instructions from the apps provider to prevent crashes.
When I go to change the permissions it states I need admin privileges. The only account I have on the box is the admin however I did change the name to something besides admin. The account is definitely an admin account.
there is the Toshiba notebook NB305-N442BL which had windows 7 starter on it. i formated it and wanted to change it windows 7 ultimate edition and it is asking me of the drivers before installation is allowed. i have downloaded the drivers from Toshiba,extracted into a folder and tried to installed but still not picking.
I have just noticed that IE was on the Windows Firewall Allowed Programs list, I unchecked and deleted it from the Allowed list because it was not there when I first got this laptop and as far as I'm concerned, never needs to be on the Allowed list! I have been running Microsoft Security Essentials, Malicious Removal Tool, MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware to check for viruses or any other internet-based demon but nothing has been discovered and programs are up-to-date.I just can't understand why IE would need to be on the Firewall Allowed list I assume allowing IE or any web browser on the Allowed list opens my computer to a greater number of problems and potential re-formatting and re-installation of Windows to make the computer safe and secure again?
am a school teacher and my school is trialling 1:1 computing with some students.Essentially, classmate pcs from intel with windows 7 enterprise. Yesterday at about the same time, all the students find that they cannot log into their classmate pcs, with the error "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see you network administrator for more details."Now this is very strange - the students have been using their machines for about 2 months to date without any error. How and why did they suddenly act up, altogetheI took a machine that has not been issued out, and found that I could log in. Then I found that it is not connected to our wireless as we changed our password a few weeks back. So I keyed in the password, got connected, and logged off and log in again - this time it shows the error. At first I thought it could be a windows update messing things up, but this small experiment indicates that this is not likely as the wireless was connected only for a minute at most before i logged off. We did not change any group policies.
So I am dual booting XP and 7 at this point. However, I have no need for the XP OS now, and want to delete that partition.I've tried doing it via the command prompt way. When I type delete volume it says:"Virtual Disk Service error: The device is in use." but when I type in delete volume override it tells me: "Virtual Disk Service error: Delete is not allowed on the current boot, system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume."Is there a way to go about fixing this without wiping my entire drive and starting from scratch?
well i wanted to change an old laptop to an ssd and I was wondering whether I could in fact do this wothout the licence becoming invalid. it has a COA but it doesn't say oem or have a manufacturers name on it. I googled it and it said you could change most if not the motherboard; but i read conflicting opinions on whether you could change the main boot drive
I want to remove print drivers and am having issues. When I go to the devices and printers and select on a any printer, then go to Print server properties, then select the drivers tab, choose a driver I want to remove and select remove. When I choose the next few settings and then get to the removal section, it gives me an issue that I cannot delete because in use.
Am I only allowed to make one copy of my Recovery partition?I have a Dell desktop, with a built in Dell recovery partition. I have read that. "You are only allowed to make ONE copy of your Recovery partition and it must be on to ROM CDs or DVDs."I didn't know that when I made a copy of C and recovery partition to my external drive, I am a bit concered that I can only do this once. Is that strictly true?
I regularly send emails to about 300+ members of my social club. Our club is growing and I am concerned about hitting the allowed limits, especially now that I am trying to transition from using an email client to using web-based Windows Live Mail.Before I commit to it, does anyone know the maximum allowed limits for emails in WLM?
1. How many contact addresses are allowed in a single email?
2. How many contacts can I email in a single day, or per hour?
3. If I send out 2 emails to the same 300 people, does that count as 300 or as 600?
4. Are there any other limits I should be aware of?
5. What happens if I go over the limit?
6. Can I be allowed a higher limit if I can demonstrate I am sending out legitimate emails to people who want these messages from me (i.e. that I am not a spammer)?
I'd like to just do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on a new drive for the same computer and use the previous drive for storage. But want to make sure everything goes well first. Oh and it's the windows 7 pro OEM system builder pack version.
Currently have 3 computers that I will be upgrading to Win 7 (running RC dual booting on 2 now): a laptop currently running XP, desktop running Vista x86/RC x86 and a desktop running RC x64/Vista x64.
I believe I read the disk will have both x86 & x64 versions. My question is will there a limit to installs/activations from one Win 7 Upgrade disc?
My problem is that even though I have only one user account defined on my machine and it is set to "Administrator" it is not being allowed to do admin types of things like deleting folders. I tried to create a user group but that's not an option on the Win7 Home Premium version that I use. How can it be that the sole account is not the admin even though it shows that it is in the account user setup?
