"Does nothing" would be the answer; User is not prompted to enter anything, doesn't have a chance to enter anything. Not prompted to enter a admin password, or user/password combo. I'm guessing because they are in the Administrators group already??
Tried HP LaserJet P2015 from cd with network disconnected; Setup starts, runs for a minute, then provides error stating you should try the "Run as admin". Restarted, tried to run setup manually WITH Run As - no change - Darned!
When the machine is connected to the wire, do not have to right-click, run as - Runs fine, normal... With cable unplugged, right-click, Run as Administrator fails. Consistent across 3 machines now. STill haven't had a chance to try other printer software.
Sounds like you are having better luck than I am. We add only the primary user from our Domain users list 2003AD, eg. DOMAIN\user and the Domain Administrators to the Local Administrators group. Can run only if it sees the network...
Not laptop or PC specific; Same problem on 3 desktops; Unable to installl printer app/not memeber of Admin group. Plug the cable back in, and they can all run application. Bizarre!
We have a few desktops here that are running Windows 7. As soon as I can kick the users off, I will disconnect ethernet and see what happens. All users are setup as local admins - domain authentication. I'll let you know what I find.
Have gone into GPO and added the two classGuid for printers from site. Also set "allow non-admin to install drivers" to ENABLED - with GUID added. No change.
Made all changes to registry (so user does have some rights) to disable UAC, made the changes to the Group Policy. No change - Will look back at the GUID to see if it is just printer install - Strange - I was able to start a program setup from DVD (Roxio). May just be printers; I have created a...
Only thing in event viewer worth noting; "The processing of group policy failed bacause of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has...
Haven't looked in eveny viewer - will do. Adding a local printer was EXACTLY what the user was trying to do - came back with error " You need to be logged on as administrator - or have admin equivl rights..." You are right on! We have numerous users that work locally in office (on Domain)...
You CAN login using Domain user credentials when disconnected; just no admin rights. No changes to GPO, using only default. Should be no local policy being applied.
Having a issue with our new WIndows 7 machines. Have added pc to domain (2003 Server/AD), have added domain user to local admin group (e.g. DOMAIN\user) Can run applications as administrator as long as they are connected physically to domain. Pull the plug, the user DOES NOT have admin rights...
