Applies to:\u00a0<\/b>All versions of Ephesoft Transact<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to changes in the default security settings between different versions of Windows (e.g. Windows Server 2012 R2), a user account that is listed as a member of the Administrators group may not perform any activity with the assumed administrative rights. It may be necessary to change the Local Group Policy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article includes steps to enable administrator privileges to members of the Local Administrators group by default to allow local administrators to access, install, and modify applications on the local machine in Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

This does not grant domain administrator rights to the user as the group policies only apply to the current server that the user is listed as a member of the Administrators group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The following instructions describe how to change the Local Group Policy from <\/span>User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for Administrators in Admin Approval Mode<\/b> to <\/span>Elevate without Prompting<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> If this Local Group Policy is set before Ephesoft Transact is installed, then the installation will complete without issue.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Windows Command Prompt, run the command:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    gpedit.msc<\/span><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to the following <\/span>Local Policy Computer Configuration<\/b> > <\/span>Windows Settings<\/b> > <\/span>Security Settings<\/b> > <\/span>Local Policies<\/b> > <\/span>Security Options<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Under the <\/span>Security Options<\/b>,<\/span> select the following policy <\/span>User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for Administrators in Admin Approval Mode<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Right-click and select <\/span>Properties<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Click on the drop-down menu and select <\/span>Elevate without Prompting<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Click <\/span>Ok.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Restart your server.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Note:<\/b> A restart is required to apply this change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
