local policy
Posted by admin on Oct 18th, 2006
In windows Vista I can see local security setting. However any attempt to change it creates an error. I discovered that even administrator does not have rights to change this setting. This looks very strange. Very often I see problems which depends on local policy. Aleks Kleyn

Hi,You have to run the local security snapin as admin (right click/run as administrator), not from an admin account. Best of Luck,Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" Microsoft MVP mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help www.rickrogers.org"Aleks Kleyn"

Yes, I do it. It asks my permission to eliviate my level. I do it. I can see context, but I cannot change settings. The same time I can see some changes which I did not athorised. It looks like hacker can have more control over PC then me. Aleks Kleyn

If you're in a domain, you still may not have access. Best of Luck,Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" Microsoft MVP mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help www.rickrogers.org"Aleks Kleyn"

This is not answer to my question. If security gives hacker more rights then me why I then this is void security or security for hacker. Aleks Kleyn "Rick Rogers"

Why do you think a hacker will have more access than you? They would only have the same level of privilege of the hacked account. Best of Luck,Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" Microsoft MVP mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help www.rickrogers.org"Aleks Kleyn"

Here is few points. I think hackers are smart guys. They will find way to bypass UAC. But me to kill there application need at least time to answer question to allow eliviate my account. Yesterday kids using XP were not able to see my PC. I was not able to see their. I see strange in network map: I connected to network through unknown. In local policy I was member of domain, but I was not able to edit it. Few ours later I was able to see their PC. Today I discovered that domain group in local policy is empty. Your comment? It is not clear why me as user cannot fix this problem. Aleks Kleyn

Hi Aleks,To bypass UAC, they'll have to get you to agree to install whatever malicious software they are providing. That's the whole point, it's no longer possible for them to install without the user's permission. And, to top it off, they can't get admin level without you specifically executing the file with elevated privileges.As to the oddities seen in your home network, that has naught to do with UAC, as the ability to view and access files on a machine is based on a set of permissions and share settings, not in UAC.

In theory you are right and i appreciate UAS. However some time will pass until it work as we expect. Look in 2001 when microsoft introduced dotnet I warn then that they should change antivirus software. If they designed XML to bypass firewall then somebody will be able to do it to control remotly my PC. At that time nobody cared, however it was realized when it was late. If you want to be on time you shoud go ahead of hacker. Nobody ask me permition to set cockie, but everybody knows that half of the cockies is spyware. You yourself mentioned that somebody can easy try to setup program on my PC. Does system ask me permition. I do not think. Last week I set up real player. It is fine. It ask me to allow. But this is not the end of the story. Next evening software which I did not set up appeared on my PC. It was clear that this was the part of real player. But nobody asked me permition. I think the story is clear. I do not tell that it is very easy to make setup without any question. Aleks Kleyn
