- hugo566788Dec 10, 2023Copper ContributorI need a program or something that can be managed from Intune so that users can modify the computer's environment variables without having administrator permissions.

Step 1:

rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
Step 2: Create a scheduled task that will use the serviceui to bring the prompt to the user and make sure that scheduled task is launched as system. Give the user permissions to that task and create a shortcut to the desktop...
