Agent Installation: Admin$ with different user?

[hirratas]

Hallo

When I install a agent on a computer through B&R Console it needs to be able to access the admin$ on the Computer.
Our computers are non domain joined and the default "Administrator" Account of Windows is disabled because of security.

When I (or veeam) tries to access admin$ with another local user on the computer who is in the administrator group it fails.
It seems I can only access the admin$ with the default "administrator".

Can you shed some light into if it is possible to access admiN$ with a local user account (but with admin rights/in administrator group) that is not the default "administrator"?

Thanks

Hi

If your user is not the built in "administrator" account, you need to disable Remote UAC on the target machine. That's a limitation from Microsoft.

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
DWORD: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
Value: 1
