| 382066 | 2005-08-18 07:15:00 | When trying to run an application as another user on a Domain Controller, I get the following error: Windows cannot access the specified device, drive, path or file. You may not have appropriate permission to access the item It even says that if I try and go "Run As" and enter my own details?! Any ideas why? Cheers Chill. |

| 382067 | 2005-08-19 12:42:00 | Are you logged into the server via a terminal service connection or by sitting in front of it and being logged in? If via a terminal service then maybe a policy doesn't allow you to install. Try logging on directly to the server. Can you install other apps? | berryb (99) | ||
| 382068 | 2005-08-19 22:15:00 | I dont have physical access to the server, its access via Remote Desktop. I can run normal .exe's fine... just dont appear to "Run As"? |

| 382069 | 2005-08-20 06:33:00 | So I understand this right. You can install/run apps fine using your own account via RDC. What account permission is this user name working under - domain admin, local administrator/s? When logged onto the domain controller via RDC as another user you cannot install/run apps? What permissions does this account have? |

| 382070 | 2005-08-20 21:32:00 | Umm.. Im in the "Domain Users" group, sgg-remotetsuseraccess group, and I think there's one other group that means I get pretty normal permissions. I can run this application fine which uses a domain admin account to create users etc, this means we dont have to give out advanced permissions to users on the TS. Does this help? I can find the name of that other group later when Im next on the TS :) |

| 382071 | 2005-08-21 03:37:00 | Looks as if it's just "normal" security. It's regarded as a very bad idea to have remote users using privileged accounts. The "Run As" could be a bit risky. *nix usually stops root from logging in remotely, or even using FTP. Of course with Windows, the software's so stable and reliable you don't need security. :D |

| 382073 | 2005-08-21 11:24:00 | If I get a chance I will try "run as" from limited user account and let you know how I get on. I thought it could be done but maybe not. Never tried, I trust Microsoft :rolleyes: and use full rights for my login. | berryb (99) | ||
