How to permit a standard, regular user account in Windows to load the Client without asking for admin's password
Resolution
Please follow the steps below to properly install the GroupWise Client for All Users:
- Uninstall the GroupWise Client entirely from the workstation.
- Download and run gwCleanIt (removes client files, registry files, etc for GroupWise)
- Restart the Workstation
- Login as Administrator only, and proceed to Install as Administrator.
Note: Right-clicking and selecting "Run-as administrator" is not sufficient. This requires the Administrator to actually be logged into a desktop session. -
If prompted, select Allow for all users, rather than just this user.
Cause
The GroupWise Client must be installed while logged into the Administrator's account in order to allow for all users.
