cannot run programs as local administrator

Hello Teams!
I have a huge Problem: with hundreds of clients sent to home office I cannot install any programs using Microsoft Teams, since I cannot run any files as local Administrator. I cannot see the Windows for the admin credentials - it pops up above the window of MS Teams. The user can see this window and I cannot.
Is there a solution for this issue? Can I somehow switch to a local admin account at least?
Thank you in advance for every hint, it's very urgent - I cannot install any Software on remote clients.

Regards


Ilja

    Hi,

    It is the windows UAC that you can't see when someone shares their desktop. This is a known problem and no good solution available. You can use another desktop sharing software, use the runas command and run the installation software with silent switch (if available).

    But the best option for you if you are going to install software on hundreds of client is to use intune or a similar solution.
