Windows Admin Center Access Denied
So I managed to solve it with some trickery! My setup is btw a Windows 10 computer, joined to domain. What I did was make my useraccount a member of the local admin group, restarted my computer, and then installed with my normal useraccount, not the domain admin account I also have. Now I could start WAC by simply doubleclicking the shortcut on the desktop, select the correct certificate and then it works. MS has made a mess of this installation, seems they seem to think we are all local admins on our computers. Elevating with another account screws everything up. Still have not tried removing my local admin membership on the computer, it might break again when I do. I'm going to use the storage migration tool so I can live with adding my account to local admins when I use that in a couple of days, but it is not pretty. Hope anyone from MS reads this thread.....Fix an installer that isn't broken please! ImNotBob
- Interesting but not a practical work around since we all run with non-admin accounts on our PC's at work.
Greetings, then you will be happy to hear that I have now verified that after installing like I described in my previous post, removing your non-admin account from local admins on the pc and rebooting will not break the WAC. It works like it is supposed to without being admin. Just required during installation.--BF--
