UAC elevation prompt for standard users
If I have understood it correctly, to conclude;
This is a important setting to follow in regards to security, because it is possible to hijack a elevated process.
A management solution is required to manage the clients. The management solutions must be able to install, configure, update/upgrade and uninstall operating system, drivers/firmware and software. It should also be able to evaluate configuration and correct error automatically.
If a one time fix is required and a program/process needs to be run with Administrators permissions, the user/helpdesk should switch user to the Administrator account with a LAPS password (or equivalent) and run the program/process in that session.
The following setting will make it impossible to run a program/process with Administrators permissions interactive remotely / through a remote support session. These changes MUST now be done through the management solution.
Thanks AaronMargosis_Tanium and rahuljindal for input.
