Hi Folks. I was noticing that some MS certs are strating to come out for
Vista and saw that measure up had a practice test for one of them. Going
through the demo questions I saw a question regarding the pop-ups from UAC.
The question asks how you can prevent uac from popping up whenever an admin
is making a configuration change. To my knowledge you couldnt unless you
disable UAC, but measure up had a different answer.
---You should change the behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators
in UAC Admin Approval Mode. UAC is a new feature in Windows Vista that
prevents unauthorized configuration changes and silent installations. The
message that is displayed confirms a user's decision to make configuration
changes. This helps prevent viruses from making changes to a user's computer
in the security context of the user but without the user's permission. To
change the elevation prompt behavior, open the Local Security Policy snap-in
from the Administrative Tools Control Panel applet. Then open the User
Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin
Approval Mode policy. Change the policy setting from Prompt for consent to No
prompt. With this setting, the UAC message will not be displayed whenever
Joyce attempts to make configuration changes that require administrative
privileges. ---
I looked all over my local policies and cant find anything dealing with UAC.
I realize that the test was probably made off of a beta version of vista,
but I wanted to check and see if anyone else was able to get this to work.
Perhaps I just have a setting configured wrong some place. It would be nice
if this really worked. Please post if you can.
