CANNOT PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGE TO THE ACCOUNT

HI GUYS

I REINSTALLLED MY WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM WITH THE HELP OF MY RECOVERY DISK. WINDOWS CREATES A DEFAULT ACCOUNT WITH ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES. BUT WHENVER I DOWNLOAD SOMETHING ON MY PC, I SAID THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PRIVELDGES TO PERFORM THIS ACTION. EVEN WINDOWS IS UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE, IT CITIES EVEN REASON.

PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ISSUE.

Go to start / Control Panel / user accounts and check that it is said administrator under the account name that you use.  If this is not the case, he is not an administrator account.  See if itwill allow you to click on manage other accounts (but can refuse you because you are not an administrator).  If you can find any account that said administrator under the name.  This is the account that you need to connect to make the necessary changes.

If you have no other Admniistrator accounts on your system, enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you forgot the password or all the passwords you use usually do not work, try anything as long as it's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Use this account to replace the other administrator account and also to create a second account administrator in case of emergency.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    I suggest to you that you cannot use the standard user account to change or remove programs that you need administrator rights to run.

  • CHOOSE BETWEEN STANDARD OR ADMINISTRATOR WHEN CONFIGURING THE ACCOUNT TYPE

    Windows recommends the introduction of standard user account Type no administrator because it is safer for the calculation of daily. I'm the only user who will never access my computer, why not choose administrator? Windows don't warn me (are you sure? Yes/No) if I try to edit or delete anything either by performing security or computer works? If not, please give an example of what could happen by choosing administrator. It's annoying to have passwords Setup and answer Yes or no jump - up when I have to.

    Thank you ~ T. Mustela

    In Windows Vista, you have the new feature called UAC, user account control. If it's on then whenever you try to do Admin tasks he will warn you though that you operate in admin account. If you want to use the administrator account, then make sure that user account control is enabled, check in the control panel in the Windows Security Center, if it is turned off it will show you.

  • Cannot become administrator after installing the drivers NIVIDA

    NVIDIA had administrator with "updatususer" and me standard user due to its update installed with the program. There are 2 others who are more residential standard which is also the administrator. I tried every 'net user administrator' I could find on youtube. I even tried one that makes you an administrator on a computer group. no luck.  There was a program on google when I tried to download it I was stuck saying I don't have permission to install it. others said something about installing another driver for the nvidia card.  It is another thing that I'll try if you can not help. I will install windows xp and reinstall windows 7 on top of that after removing the graphics card from nvidia, hoping that it will remove all the UNWANTED installed them. I know it's a lot of work and time. I am at a stand still don't know what to do.

    I tried restore could not said it must be an administrator. everything I tried says need to be administrator. I'll remove the graphics card and reinstalling windows 7.

    Your action is a bit premature. There are several other methods to call the system restore, for example pressing F8 on startup to start the machine in Repair Mode.

  • Cannot delete the account of a user with administrator rights

    I want to remove a user who has administrator rights account.  Win XP machine has two users (Administrator and a user name) that both are of type of administrator account.

    I you as an administrator and should be able to change the other named to Limited user account, but for Limited is greyed out.  The option to delete the named account is not present.

    How can I delete this account, leaving only administrator?

    Often, I find that using the command line commands gives errors better when you can not do something.  Try the following:

    o bring a window prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd")

    o enter the following command in the window:

    net localgroup administrators

    o that it must return a list of all users with administrator privileges.  You should see the built-in user 'Administrator' and your other user (assuming that both have administrator privileges).  To remove administrator privileges from the user (assuming that this another username is "Joe"), then enter the following command:

    net localgroup administrators Joe/remove

    If this is not possible, an error no doubt will provide you with enough information.

  • Cannot use administrator rights in one of the standard accounts when you are prompted for.

    Yesterday, that I had to create a side extra. I was going to put children on it.
    But I decided against it.
    The new side and the original are BOTH standard accounts.
    Because I couldn't get into the original side because of all of the parenting time.

    I need to get administrator privileges on the side of the computer.

    I can't even turn on comments or anything.

    It says...........................

    You want to make changes type administrative password and press Yes

    BUT there is NO WHERE to tap into it.

    Original title: adminstrative user

    We don't know what you mean with 'Coast '. As much as I know the concept doesn't mean anything in Windows.

    To go back to the past you can start the computer with your CD to repair Windows in Repair Mode, and then select System Restore to restore Windows to a point before you start playing with the accounts.
    Your next task is to plan ahead a little and create, test and document a Director of spare, even that you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble. If you had this spare admin account so it would be useless to ask for help.
  • B2375dfw administrator privileges

    I have a Dell B2375dfw all-in-one mono printer. The printer requires me to connect to do several things on the printer itself. This is a printer at home - I wish I could remove the connection.

    I created a connection with custom menus and other things, but this new connection does not have administrator privileges (on the printer - not a connection of the window). Is it possible to assign administrator privileges to a user account?

    I hope you stick with it. I am very satisfied with the printer. It's only two problems are poor documentation and a bunch of features are restricted to the administrator account. As you have discovered there is no way to know how to configure the administrator account.

  • Can built-in DHCP of WLC provide IP addresses for the wired client?

    Hello

    We have a WLC running on 7.0.98.0. It provides IP addresses for users without comment thread. Now, we would like to put a couple of wired posts for customers who do not bring mobile no. I wonder if I put these workstations on the same vlan without comment thread, they can always get IPs of the WLC. If this isn't the case, I put the static IP on these workstations.

    Thanks in advance.

    Robert

    Rob:
    The answer is simply "no". WLC cannot provide clients wired on the same VLAN wireless whose IP address if DHCP is configured on WLC.

    Fbarboza above metnioned is a 'very' special configuraiton on wireless LANs where the WLC is configured to support some wireline customers and he needs to have two WLCs (the show is called Wired comments). This particular case does not apply to your situation.

    With your situation, my answer above apply.

    Note

    A internal DHCP server pool will only serve the wireless clients of that controller, not clients of other controllers. Also, internal DHCP server can only serve wireless clients and not wired clients.

  • Beta 5 of Firefox does not check the updates from an account without administrator privileges and won't ask administrator privileges apply downloaded update

    I can't get Firefox Beta 5 to check the updates using an account without administrator privileges. Beta version of Firefox 5 downloaded an update (from 2 Beta Beta 3), and now, there's a button apply update in the Firefox window that won't hurt, even though the update is properly applied from another account with administrator privileges.

    I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. In general, I use Firefox for an account without administrator privileges and provide the only administrator credentials when you are prompted to install or remove software.

    Delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    You may need to remove active - update.xml and updates.xml so, if it is present.

  • The Windows fax service cannot start because there is no such thing as a privilege in the fax service account.

    I'm trying to set up Windows Fax and Scan to store faxes "received" in a folder encrypted (EFS). (I use Windows Vista Business).

    The fax service will not start if it set to log on as a "local system account", but faxes are stored with the certificate of local system and inaccessible to other users.

    To work around this problem, I tried to configure the Fax Service to log on under a specific user account. However, after that and try to re - start the Service I get.

    Error: 1297 as a service privilege is needed to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration.

    One of the services that begins with the "local system account" does not automatically start with a normal user account and if you get the message.  Most of the services are designed to start with the local system account and not a special user account (actually, not on my system using a specific user account for services).  I think that part is OK and you must return it to the local system account (so eliminate the error message and remove that as a problem to solve).

    I think the question may also be a permissions problem in the user access to the fax.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If that is indeed a problem of certificates (and it seems there is a but looks like he takes care of himself with the Wizard), then we must make the certificate available to all users of the system (from where it is now stored) - and I think I saw how to do this in secpol.msc.  Here is some information I found on EFS secpol.msc in the public key policies (you can get it by entering this in the area of research and the antering and then a double click on the program icon that appears) where you would put in place.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Encrypting File System (EFS) is an encryption technology of base file used to store the encrypted files on NTFS file system volumes. Encrypted files cannot be used unless the user has access to the keys needed to decrypt the information.

    Encryption is transparent to the user that encrypted the file. This means that you don't have to manually decrypt the encrypted file before that you can use. You can open and edit the file as you normally would. Once you encrypt a file or folder, you work with the encrypted file, or a folder like you do with any other file or folder.

    The use of EFS is similar to using permissions on files and folders. Both methods can be used to restrict access to the data. However, an attacker who gets physical access unauthorized to your encrypted files or folders will be prevented from reading. If the intruder tries to open or copy your encrypted file or folder, he or she receives an access denied message. Permissions on files and folders do not protect against unauthorized physical attacks.

    You encrypt or decrypt a folder or file by setting the property of encryption for files and folders, as you define another attribute such as read-only, compressed, or hidden. If you encrypt a folder, all files and subfolders created in the encrypted folder are automatically encrypted. It is recommended that you encrypt at the folder level.

    You can also encrypt or decrypt a file or folder using the Cipher command.

    When you work with encrypted files and folders, keep in mind the following information:

    • Only the files and folders on NTFS volumes can be encrypted. However, you can use Web distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV), which also works with NTFS, to transfer files in encrypted form.
    • Files or compressed files can also be encrypted. If the user marks a file or folder for encryption, that file or folder will be uncompressed.
    • Encrypted files are decrypted if you copy or move the file to a volume that is not an NTFS volume.
    • Moving files unencrypted in an encrypted folder will automatically cause these files to be encrypted in the new folder. However, the reverse will not automatically decrypt files. The files must be explicitly decrypted.
    • Files marked with the system attribute cannot be encrypted, nor can files in the system root directory structure.
    • Encrypt a file or a folder does not protect against the removal or the list of files or directories. Anyone with the appropriate permissions can delete or list encrypted folders or files. For this reason, the use of EFS in combination with NTFS permissions is recommended.
    • You can encrypt or decrypt files and files located on a remote computer that has been enabled for remote encryption, but, in this version of Windows, the data that is transmitted over the network by this process is not encrypted. Other protocols, such as Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) or Internet Protocol security (IPsec) must be used to encrypt data while they are transmitted over the network. (You can also use WebDAV, as described in the first bullet, to pass the file in encrypted form.)

    EFS policy settings

    You can use Group Policy to configure a number of EFS settings.

    Allow or disallow the EFS

    You can choose to allow or prohibit the use of EFS altogether. If you do not configure the policy settings for EFS, it is OK.

    The EFS options

    If you choose to allow EFS, you can also select a number of options, such as whether to automatically encrypt the Documents folder of the user, to require a smart card for use with EFS, to cache keys created based on a smart card, to enable the encryption of the Windows page file, or to notify users to make the backup copies of their encryption keys.

    EFS certificate

    EFS encryption is based on the pairs of keys associated with certificates. In most managed environments, the certificates are issued by a certification authority (CA) running in the field. Users can automatically be issued a certificate from the CA without manual intervention. EFS settings include a drop-down models of certificates that are available in the field list so that you can specify which certificate template to use for autoenrollment.

    Note
     

    The list includes all the models of certificates, present in the field. An administrator must configure the CA so that certificates can be issued. Some displayed certificates are not available.

    In cases where a certificate cannot be issued by a certification authority, EFS can use a self-signed certificate created on the local computer (there is a section in secpol.msc to create a certificate). You can choose to disable this functionality and specify a default key length.
