remote printer install on Windows 7
hello,
We are starting to get more windows 7 machine in our network and since we have 10 locations, we need to be able to remotely install printers via windows explorer.
However, on our windows 7 machines, we keep getting the following error:
"You do not have sufficient rights to perfom this operation."
The machines are part of a domain and domain administrators are trying to do this [even the login Administrator].
What are we missing?
Thank you for any help...
Mike

We don't even get that far. We click on the add printer button in windows explorer and then we get the error message...

Are you connecting to the Win7 machines remotely or is someone sitting there going to IE and then getting the message? If they're there - are they logged on to the machine as an admin locally OR do they have admin rights within the Domian rights to add a device to the local machine?

Found it we believe...
User Account Control: Run all Administrators in Admin Approval Mode under local security policy. It was disabled...
We are going to reimage the tablet and try again just to make sure...

Please let us know. UAC casuses all kinds of little issues. ... Thinkpads_User
ASKER
yes, it was the UAC.
Sorry about the late response.

The first post to your question was to suggest User Account Control, and that then was ultimately the problem.

Just re-read that post.
I'm fine giving the points but that is not exactly what the issues was. We have the UAC as low as it would go but you also had to tell it to Run all Administrators in Admin Approval Mode under local security policy.
just wanted to point that out.
