A PC in domain don't ask for admin credentials when run as administrator
Hi I have a Windows 2008 R2 Domain and several Windows 7 clients joined to the domain. This is the first strange behavior: When I stay in front of the machine, there are some actions to do with elevate privilegies, so I select the application, rigth click and select "Run as administrator", and run, that's the problem, I think that it must show me a window to capture the admin and password. This is a concern, because, in this way, the users can use elevated privilegies to run something. What can I modify in the domain or do in a GPO for running as administrator and ask the user/password? This is the seconf strange behavior: In the same clients, I need to run an ipconfig or some other dos command, if I did it only using a CMD, appear the command prompt, I write ipconfig -all; and after the enter, the command prompt window never gets back an answer, it looks freeze, so I have to open the command prompt with "Run as administrator" and in that way is the only when return information, why is this problem? Thanks in advance!Doc MX

That's the point, I done it logged as normal user.... and never ask me the credentials for the local or domain admin. As you said, for an ipconfig (in my example) must not have problems, but the reality is that.... don't work :( any idea where to dig? or obtain more information?Doc MX

Hi The user that I use for this test, neither pertain to local users, domain users or other group with priviledged rights. Any suggestion? Doc MX In the PC, start > run and type CMD @ the command prompt, type control userpasswords2. Click on the advanced tab then on the advanced button. Click on the group folder then double click on administrators and make sure the user is not listed there. Then do the same thing for Power Users or any other user groups with privileges.
