UAC not functioning as expected
My apologies if this is not the correct forum for this question/issue.
We have several Windows 7 professional systems. Most of them function as expected, however we have a few that do not.
Case in point:
We have two windows 7 pro 32bit systems that have the same identical setups, same patches etc (in thought anyway).
For this purpose we will call them PC-A and PC-B
Both Systems have UAC set to level 2.
Logged into PC-A as a user a member of the local administrator group.
When we try to install a .msi file on PC-A from a network share on one system, about half way through the install the UAC prompts us to allow a portion of the install to continue. after clicking continue the install completes.
Logged into PC-B as user, a member of the local administrator group.
When we try to install the same exact file as we did on PC-A, about the same point that PC-A prompts with UAC, PC-B fails with a message saying you need to run the install in evelated permission and the install fails.
Why are these two work stations displaying two different reactions to like situations?
It appears as though PC-B is not getting the flip to prompt for elevated permissions. If we cancel the eleveated permission prompt on PC-A, we get the same display message that PC-B defaults to, saying you need to run this with administrator privledges and fails the install.
We have been banging our heads trying to figure out why some (about 10%) have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
