| | Re: Run in admin account / Run as admin equivalence ? Hello, No, these are not equivalent. When an administrator runs a confirmed program, that program is running under that administrator's user profile. When a standard user runs a program and an administrator enters their credentials to confirm, that program is running under that administrator's profile, not the standard user's. - JB "Poutnik" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:MPG.239701d58c22446798969e@xxxxxx Quote: > > Hi, > > is Running an installation in admin account ( UAC confirmed ) > equivalent to Running it "as admin" in normal user account ? > > Not concerning permition rights here, > but runas parameters /profile and /env. > > Poutnik |

| | Re: Run in admin account / Run as admin equivalence ? Hm, you have just confirmed they are equivalent, even saying no, i.e both cases run under admin account AND profile. Or am I wrong ?

| | Re: Run in admin account / Run as admin equivalence ? You are correct. As a result, there is more of a separation of concerns when elevating a program from a standard user account than there is when elevating a program from an administrator account. - JB "Poutnik" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:MPG.23970e967a90444a98969f@xxxxxx Quote: > Hm, > > you have just confirmed they are equivalent, even saying no, > i.e both cases run under admin account AND profile. > > Or am I wrong ? > > Poutnik > > In article <Oa7s6z4TJHA.1148@xxxxxx>, jb@xxxxxx says...> Quote: >> Hello, >> >> No, these are not equivalent. >> >> When an administrator runs a confirmed program, that program is running >> under that administrator's user profile. >> >> When a standard user runs a program and an administrator enters their >> credentials to confirm, that program is running under that >> administrator's >> profile, not the standard user's. >> >> - JB >> > > |
