Modify the Admin Approval Mode

Valid on Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7

SAM endpoint administration tasks run in the background and require access privileges of a native administrator account. If the SAM endpoint administrators do not have access to this native administrator account, you must allow all endpoint administrators to run in Admin Approval Mode.

Important: If the policy setting is disabled, the Security Center notifies you that the overall security of the operating system has been reduced.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy

   The Local Security window opens.

2. Browse to Local Policies, Security Options

   The Policy Pane opens.

3. Right-click User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode and select Properties

   The Properties dialog appears

4. Change the operation mode to Disable and click OK

   The Properties dialog closes.

5. Reboot your computer to apply the change.

   Your background endpoint administration tasks now run successfully.
