Enabling/disabling wireless adapter without administrator rights (Win 7 64 - bit)

Is there a way to toggle wireless adapter without it as an administrator? Our political laptops where user access is limited and admin password is required to install all the software are submitted. Since the enabling/disabling wireless adapter requires Admin rights, users by default are not able to turn on/off wireless. However, our IT Department has confirmed that their policy has nothing to do with the wireless adapter and it's a setting in Win 7. Is there a solution to this? Thank you.

There is no control of Windows 7 that will allow a user account Standard toggle the WiFi card.

A Standard user account is limited to the secondary action of switching on & off WiFi using the F7 / Fn + F5 key or the key it is for the model [a switch is often provided in the dialog box Windows-X as well, "Windows Mobility Center" key].

    Hi John,.

    Administrator rights are required for installation of Flash Player because it installs in place across the system that requires high permissions to write to.  For this reason, there is no way to install Flash Player without administrative rights.   As he writes in a location across the system, any user on the machine with the Admin rights can install Flash Player.

  • How to get a USB 2.0 wireless adapter to work on Win7 Ultimate 64-bit?

    Details:

    ASUS P8Z77 - V motherboard w/Intel Core i7 3.5 Ghz 3770 K LK
    16 GB OF RAM
    HWUN4 USB 2.0 wireless adapter b/g/n w/Realtek chipset Hawking RTL8192CU
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit fully updated to include SP1
    It is the second USB card who refuses to work on this platform, the first being something Rosewill which also uses a Realtek chip.
    I checked that the drivers for my MB are up-to-date, verified that I have later Hawking, tried drivers directly from Realtek drivers for the chip and assured that I installed the latest Intel MEI driver package for my motherboard. I went on the USB settings in the BIOS, but I'm not exactly fluent in what the options really are or do. I went through all of this also try to get the Rosewill unit to work several months past, as well, but without success with a device. It is postulated that the Hawking unit is actually Edimax, although I can't find any similar product on the site in order to try the drivers for. I also completely turned off my firewall ZoneAlarm and Avast! antivirus during installation and configuration, for the same results each time. The results does not same are achieved regardless of USB 2.0 ports 10 or if I connect to the adapter for.
    With this Hawking and the previous Rosewill adapter, drivers seem to installs successfully, such properties as displayed in the Device Manager say "this device is working properly", but they do not find a wireless signal. Simply says Windows Network Diagnostics adapter is "problems" and suggests that drivers can be a problem and always indicates that the latest drivers are already installed every time I have send the update to the latest drivers on my hard drive.
    I can come to only three possible conclusions:
    (1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB 2.0 wireless network cards.
    (2) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB adapters based on the Realtek chips.
    (3) my motherboard lacks the correct BIOS settings to fully activate USB wireless.
    I have several other USB 2.0 devices that all work fine on this platform, including cameras, USB keys, external drive docks, mice, keyboards, phones, and others. I googled the days and found nothing to convince me the problem with my motherboard, I can't find anything specific on Win7x64 being a problem with this. Comments on NewEgg and other sites indicate people successfully use wireless adapters USB with Win7x64 and even on the same motherboard, I use, so I have to assume that I have either overlooked something or not yet found appropriate hardware and/or software settings.
    With this post being half-rant and half-cry for help, I will respectfully ask for suggestions on how to solve this maddening problem.

    «I don't mention it in my first post, certainly, but these devices have very certainly works wonders on a laptop with Win7x64 and a desktop computer with WinXPx32 installed.»

    So your previous conclusions are wrong, because they contradict what you are saying now.

    I can come to only three possible conclusions:
    (1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB 2.0 wireless network cards.
    (2) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB adapters based on the Realtek chips.
    (3) my motherboard lacks the correct BIOS settings to fully activate USB wireless.
     
    I wanted to know if the adapter STILL works, not its past history. I have a D-Link WDA 2320 worked in another PC perhaps a year previously, but now it shows in the configuration, and that's as much as I can get with it. A few years ago I had a computer that did not like any wireless device, either PCI or USB and finished by hard wiring it which was very annoying.
     
    OK, back to your...
     
    Go to Device Manager and uninstall the device.
    Then set Device Manager to show hidden devices.
    Remove any instances where the adapter has tried to implement on a USB port
    Remove all instances of the downloaded driver files.
    Restart the computer. There should be nothing about it that the adapter can use more
     
    Then download a SINGLE instance of the pilots approved here. http://hawkingtech.com/products/hawking_products/Hi-gain_wireless_networking/HWUN4.html
     
    According to the manual, you must run the file from the driver before connecting the device to the computer...
    Connect the device and then run the driver file. Restarting after the installation of the drivers and when the computer is back running, connect the device...

  • Install driver OfficeJet Pro X476dw on Win 7 Enterprise 64 bits without administrator rights

    Hi all

    I have an OfficeJet Pro X476dw for my home office and I would like to use this printer on my company PC. Unfortunately the standard company of Win7 64 bit installation does not come with a set of drivers for the OfficeJet Pro X476dw. Unfortunately my company does not allow installation of company not certified pilots and they decline my request to certify the official HP drivers. So my question:

    is there any driver easily integrated in Windows 7 which could be used to run the X476dw of OfficeJet Pro

    Any advice is welcome!

    Best regards

    EMVH

    Thanks Futoji,

    Meanwhile, I figured out how to fix it for my Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit:

    (1) download the PCL 6 printer with installer driver

    (2) run the Installer (which will fail)

    (3) get the extracted files (must be in c:\users\ (you'll identify it through the most recent date, the copy path))

    (4) kick-off detection routine printer using 'Add printer' > ' add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.

    (5) take the printer without specification of 3911 port

    (6) select 'have disk... '. "and will give the driver (path of the dough)

    (7) select HP OfficeJet Pro X476dw MFP PCL6 driver

    (8) test

    It worked for me.

    Best regards

  • [Win7] How routing metric is determined when wired and connected to the same subnet and enabled both wireless adapter

    We have one under the Network Setup:

    1 Win 7 laptop with the wireless and wired adatper1 card1 enabled and connected to the 192.168.1.0 network.

    WLA1 - 192.168.1.2

    WA1 - 192.168.1.3

    2 Win 7 laptop with the wireless and wired adatper2 card2 enabled and connected to the 192.168.1.0 network.

    WLA2 - 192.168.1.4

    WA2 - 192.168.1.5

    WLA1 and WLA2 are connected by a wireless access point.

    WA1 and WA2 are connected via L2 switch.

    Every time we ping from laptop1 to 192.168.1.4, need the wireless path.

    Similarly, when we ping from laptop1 to 192.168.1.5 only need to access wired road.

    In addition, if we disable WLA1 in laptop1 and laptop1 192.168.1.4 ping, ping does not occur and ping is successful only if the wireless network adapter is enabled. It does not take the cable path.

    I just sub questions:

    -On what basis the route is chosen correctly?

    -Can we expect this happens all the time or roads can vary according to certain parameters?

    -Why it only takes the path wired when we ping from laptop1 to 192.168.1.4 after having turned off the WLA1.

  • HP ENVY disabled wireless adapter

    I used this link:

    The wireless on my laptop key is orange shiny, but I can't figure out how to make it blue again. I've never used the Wifi on my laptop, at work, school, etc. I've never had a problem until now.

    I also used the trick troubleshooting using Windows 8 where you are looking for and then look in the section airplane mode and now I have airplane Mode and Bluetooth to this article, no Wifi.

    Can someone help please?

    Thank you!!

    It would be useful that you have identified your laptop with its full product name or number and the adapter code manufacturer orr wireless PCI\Ven and model name.

    -See web document this HP if you do not know how to locate the product number or model number.

    You can reinstall the driver for the card through the HP Recovery Manager. The following images were made for previous discussions. Find your adapter wireless among drivers available listed in drivers available from the laptop Recovery Manager packages.

    You need to change the privileges of use in Active Directory on the server. Or create a local computer account and allow users to install applications to use it.

    Using Active Directory would be the most simple, open AD > users

    Right-click on the account and change the domain they can log on which is administrators.
