You are having a discussion with another tech about the level of security Windows runs during the installation of application software. The other tech criticizes Windows for automatically installing software with the permission levels of the user currently logged on, which is almost always as an administrator. What Windows security feature do you mention that limits application software installation to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes increased permission levels?
A. DXDIAG
B. UAC
C. USMT
D. WinXPatch
Solution
B. UAC, or User Account Control, is a technology introduced with Windows Vista that continues to be used with Windows 7. UAC notifies the computer user when an application is trying to be installed or run and will only let that application have access to the system with standard user privileges until a user with administrator rights increases the rights of the application so that it can run or be installed.
