amomen Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 You know that in windows only members of the administrators group can install an application. My question is:How can the accounts other than the administrators be permitted to install an application without the "Run as" concept?

Dencandy Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Welcome to the forum amomen. In general they can't, unless the Administrator allows it by upgrading other users to Administrators. Otherwise there'd be little point in having separate types of user accounts.

Scarecrow Man Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 In Windows XP Professional, you can specify users allowed to perform "install" features with a group policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amomen Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 In Windows XP Professional, you can specify users allowed to perform "install" features with a group policy.Thanx in taking time to answer my question, but my question is in fact : "By which option can we change group policy settings in orderto allow a specific user (Other than the members of the administrators group) to install applications?" ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Editing Hidden System Settings using Group Policy EditorTo start the program up follow the directions below. 1. Open the start menu and click Run2. Type gpedit.msc3. The Group Policy MMC appears4. Click through the different nodes of the tree to see all the hidden features of Windows XP that you can edit without touching the registry.You need to browse around the tree to find functions related to what you are trying to do :)Some examples of how to use GPEhttp://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_...s/winxpgpe.html - the last example shown here is I believe in the area where you need to look to adjust things ?IMHO You need to do the actual spade work yourself so you know what you have changed in the event of a catastrophe !Edit BTW - are you trying this on XP or in Vista ? (Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is only available in the Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise versions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
