26. User Account Control Challenges Windows Vista Solution Easier to Run as Standard User Users can do more on their own Change time zone, power settings, VPN, and more Install approved devices Admin commands clearly marked Higher application compatibility File and registry virtualization Greater Protection for Admins Software runs with lower privileges by default Administrator provides consent before elevation Most users run with full administrator privileges all the time At risk from malware Can’t manage desktops or enforce policy Expensive to support Difficult to run a standard user User can’t perform many tasks Many applications don’t run

27. Security shield identifies operations that require privilege elevation User Account Control Feature review By default, all interactive processes run as standard user User consent is required to run a process with elevated privileges DEMO

28. What Do I Do About UAC If your app runs correctly as Standard User Nothing!Else Remove operations that require elevated privileges Set machine-wide settings during installation If certain operations require elevated priviliges Factor into separate process (or separate COM objects) Identify them with the “shield” If your app targets admins In manifest specify requestedExecutionLevel requireAdministrator
