MS Logon Domain priviliges?

Post by remain »

I have the vnc server set up on a client machine with a user logged in with user rights. I'm able to log in with an administrator account using the new (test_19) winvnc.exe

I was hoping it would be possible that the viewer would be able to manipulate the client with the domain priviledges of the user he connected and authenticated with.

i.e. A user is logged in and they cannot install programs or printers.
I connect to the user's computer and authenticate as a domain admin who has rights to install and install the program they need.

Is this possible? Will it be possible?

Thanks.

BTW, this is a windows XP sp 2 computer with the VNC server installed on a windows 2000 Active Directory domain.

This is not possible and won't be possible in the future.
This behavior is by design, because VNC does not start a new logon session.
You would also need a multi-user Windows to make something like that work (ala terminal server), but then you would have a different, separate session.

But you have several other options:
- Use "Run as" to run setups other applications.
- Log off the current user and log on as administrator (all via VNC). Then you can do anything you like.
