check which groups you are a member of and whether the local workstation has one of those groups of which you are a member in its administrators security group?<br><br>
</div>


<div>
try<br>on the owrkstation, open cmd.exe <br>net localgroup administrators
</div>


<div>
The account "administrator" is treated especially, for it, UAC is always off. So if your "download guard" needs elevation in order to function, you have found the reason.<br><br>What guard is that?
</div>


<div>
McKnife, <br><br>can you kindly expand on that? I didn't quite get what you're serving from that end of the net.<br><br>Thanks!
</div>


<div>
try this, while you are loged in with your account, hit the windows key, type cmd.exe right-click on the listed command and select run as admin. does it let your login to run the command window in administrative mode?<br>If it does not either your account is not in the correct group, administrators on the local system. or it is a member of another group that restricts your account.<br>it could be that your account is both a member of the administrators group and of the users group.<br>Based on its membership in the users group, you are barred from elevating.<br><br>
</div>


<div>
Downloads do work, right, it's just that you cannot install with your credentials although you should have administrative privileges on that machine. So as advised by others, while logged on as the user who experiences that problem, please verify that you may start something as administrator - right click any executable and select "run as administrator" - what happens then, does windows prompt for credentials and if so, are your admin credentials accepted?
</div>


<div>
actually the download does not complete.. It looks like when it is about to save, it asks for credentials.<br><br>I did the net localgroup administrators, and all the expected accounts are in there<br><br>Now I'm thinking that maybe its a rights issue at the redirected folders<br>folders redirect to the server, but now I'm thinking that maybe that's not right. Any thoughts on that?<br><br>Thank you all, for helping with this...<br><br>

Windows OS

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
