Removal of administrator rights local users

I have a domain network with about 25 workstations XP.  Currently, they are all local admin users.  We want to try to stop their loading of software approved and other junk.  Can I remove the local administrator rights and do just a standard user?  If they are set as a standard user is the Windows Installer always updates without entering a password for the admin?  Furthermore, what about Java and Adobe updates?  What is the best way to handle this?

Thank you

  • Removal of administrator rights

    Hello

    If I delete my account Admin rights after you create another admin account, in order to continue to use my ex-admin account now for everyday tasks, will I have problems?

    So, to summarize:

    (1) create an admin account for changes in the system etc.

    (2) remove the usual account administrator rights (let's call it "Account BOB," for example) which, until now, had administrator rights

    (3) continue using BOB account for daily tasks

    Purpose of the entire operation: ad extra security level.

    Thank you!

    • Administrator: an administrator can add and manage other users, install applications, and change the settings. The new user that you create when you set up your Mac is an administrator. Your Mac can have multiple administrators. You can create new ones and convert standard users to administrators. Don't set up the automatic connection to an administrator. If you do, someone could simply restart your Mac and access with administrator privileges. To secure your Mac, don't share administrator names and passwords.

  • Installation of policy blackBerry Smartphones MSI group failing due to problem of administrator rights

    I managed to install desktop manager 4.6 on my PC using the MSI from the CD. I'm a domain administrator, when I try to install the MSI even on other users in the domain through group policy that are not administrators, that the software will not be installed. I checked and politics is definitively applied and it says on logon the Blackberry Desktop Manager software is installed, but no group icon or a program is created.

    I don't want to give users administrator rights because users are not allowed to install the software on their PC. Normally the software installs through the strategy of group with no problem. I don't want to go around for each PC and install manually if I can avoid it.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Work on the problem. All the files from the downloaded package are required to install the application. When you configure the group policy installation only the msi file has been copied into the installation directory.

  • A user in domain local group administrators is not administrator rights

    Trying to figure out what the problem is with the computer of a friend at work.

    When you connect as long as domain user that is part of the local Administrators group, the user looks like he doesn't have administrator rights. For example, they are unable to create files in certain folders, etc where you wait for only admin to be.

    If the computer is in safe mode, then everything works as expected.

    If the same newspaper users in another machine on the network, while everything looks ok.

    It just seems to be on a machine that he has problems.

    All local group settings look ok and permissions on individual files look ok - and they work in safe mode.

    This is a friends working machine, and for now, he tries to avoid his reconditioned machine to work around this problem. There is no restore point for him to try (it's out of our hands). We tried a number of things right, but nothing was any use so far - other than to try safe mode, but we do not know how to use this info.

    Any advice on how this track more would me much appreciated!

    OK, now that we are talking about. The files you mention are all the system folders. They enjoy special protection under Windows 7 to prevent rogue programs to do things behind your back when you are signed in under an administrator account. It goes the same for the root of C:. You can create folders here, but you cannot create files.

  • How to get back my full and indisputable administrator rights and privileges back as if it was before on my user account

    Well, for starters, I use a HP Pavilion G6 and it runs Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

    Well, I personally did the implementation of the PC and fact my user account on the system (with full administrator privileges) while I'm my songs and other stuff on it, well, I share the PC with my sister (she is not to do much with it except video games and songs), yes as I had my stuff on the PC , I noticed that could be considered my user account from my sister stuff, just double click on it (I did its standard user account), that worried me, I mean what was the point of password protecting the account if one day she'll find my user folder and just to open and access all my stuff? So I decided to remove a few rights (I couldn't find a way to his lock out of my user folder. Honestly, I thought I was doing the right thing, well I saw properties of my user folder, go to the Security section and well refused all access features to the (to change to call you) personally I expected to block his access to my stuff, but he finished only take stuff on the desk and me to my own account lockout.

    I found a way and used the administrator (surprisingly, I thought I was administrator since I did the setting in (I know there is a default Administrator account and a few others for things far from MS).) So I did it, in a way of to return, my rights and my stuff back, but now it seems that I'm not admin, all I want to do requires an admin who don't have troubled me some time ago, I went to the local disk properties and made sure that I had all access on my user account , but no, something is still not back to normal.

    The result is, I want to just that my account of the way he has been, with full administrator privileges and everything, without requiring me this user or that, to be the boss.

    Oh, and the My Music folder is not too just need admin just before you do anything in, I went to its security properties, and it allows me to check full access.

    I really need help everyone, could help you?

    I want my account respected as an administrator again.

    [Moved from comments]

    You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  • 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.

  • I tried to create a USER with administrator rights, as suggested by XP, but now I don't see the icon administrator when connecting?

    My new user does not have the original administrator logon icon the same settings, computer desktop or programs I should use and before setting up the new user.  How can I copy, convert or restore settings (find) the Director, programs, files, documents, office, Internet settings and Favorites, etc. to the new USER?

    Since owning my laptop I had connected using the Administrator icon and had an icon of comments, as well, until last Thursday.  I tried to follow the advice of XP and create USERS, so the administrator access would not be compromised.  Children were downloading apps and devours space... I was afraid they would accidentally remove a program or file, or worse... Then...

    When I set up my USER he asked me if I would be the Admiistrator. I said yes.  But, when iI rebooted my laptop, only the icon of the USER (S) presented at the connection... the Administrator icon was missing. and my new USER reflects only a few shortcuts shared on the desktop...

    I expect Admin rights and my old administrator settings.  I need to recover them because all my documents and especially my work programs do not exist.

    Help, please!  It would be greatly appreciated EV.  I would like to restore to last Wednesday, if the system would, but it seems that it will not.

    Sincerely,

    KC

    What you experienced is normal.  When you create another user, the original administrator account becomes hidden.  It's still there (in fact, it cannot be deleted), it just doesn't appear in the login screen.

    You should still be able to login as administrator.  When you get to the login screen, just tap Ctrl-Alt-Del twice.  This will bring up a login dialog window.  Just enter 'Administrator' in the user name and the password (if any) in the password line and press 'return '.  If you want or need to copy your files and data from the administrator account to the new account that you created, and then follow the steps in the following procedure and claim that your administrator profile is corrupted or damaged.

  • How to remove an administrator user profile in windows vista?

    My computer has 2 Administrator profiles. One of them is here over the years and one of them was recently created accidentally. I am trying to remove this accidental profile but when I go into control panel > user accounts > add or remove user accounts and click the appropriate profile, it doesn't have an option "Delete account" as do all other accounts. So I tried the signature on the account I wanted to remove and remove it from there again once, the option 'Remove account' is not there, but he is there for all accounts - same Director of another one. How can I remove this unwanted profile?

    Hello

    By default in OS 4 coming
    Default administrator, guest, help support.ms / remote,.
    You cannot delete default admin, you can remove accidental created admin
    Instead of delete, you can DΘsactiver this admin account, log in as a lead Director
    Press win + r > run > lusrmgr.msc > double click on the administrator to find user folder > click right properties > check account disable > fact
    If you want to disable admin created accidentally do disable same.but only, before taking off to disable that represent files and backup files

  • How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    OT: Without administrator rights.

    I don't have my active administrator account.

    I had a user account that I removed myself from the group administrator.

    Now I'm locked to do anything.

    I can't assign me to the admin group, I can't allow the user to administrator, I can't edit some files or delete some software...

    I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

    I can't open the recovery mode, tried to start in safe mode and all the rest.

    How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    I had a user account, which I removed myself from the group administrator.

    -> This is called "paint yourself in a corner.

    I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

    -> Is normal. Either you are an administrator, or you're not.

    How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    -> Ask a friend to burn a CD repair system for you (Control Panel / backup and restore). Now to use this CD to start the machine in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to a point before you downgrade your one and only the admin account.

    When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
