Communicator cannot provide administrator credentials for a remote computer when it is prompted for them during a desktop-sharing session
A Microsoft Office Communicator client has been given control of a remote Windows-based client computer during a desktop-sharing session. However, when the Communicator client is prompted for the administrator credentials that are required for User Account Control (UAC) security, the operation fails. This issue occurs when the Windows-based client computer is running one of the following operating systems:
CAUSE
The Communicator client cannot obtain the administrator credentials that the UAC feature on the shared client computer requires for administrative access to the protected areas of the Windows-based client operating system.
To access the UAC-protected operating system components of a Windows-based client computer, use the Windows Remote Assistance feature.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2
- Microsoft Office Communicator 2007
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
