Guest Don Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I've got several laptops running Vista Business that I'd like to remotely administer. All the users have Standard User IDs. I've used a tightVNC-based product to Remote Control these laptops, however, when I'm trying to do something that requires elevation to Administrator, I cannot enter the password, I have to ask them to do it....which defeats the purpose of making them Standard Users in the first place. Can anyone tell me how I can remote control another PC and have the ability to elevate myself if required during the session? Much thanks. Quote
Guest Zach Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 You can use remote desktop connection, and log in as an admin.
