Despite this policy, I find the some users have disabled UAC completely and execute each task with full administrator privileges. Even RSOP shows on these computers that the policy has been applied, but nevertheless the slider is not disabled and to make matters worse, UAC stays disabled even after Group Policy Update when the user disables it once.

Is there a way to manage this more precisely or am I unaware of such a way? Thanks in advance. Hi, Florian, thanks for your reply. Indeed, RSOP shows that the policy applies successfully and other group policy settings in the same GPO are enforced correctly and events and are logged on the computer. I have tested with an account that has local administrator privileges and the results show the following: If you enable the Admin Approval mode for administrators, UAC works and prompts for consent.

If the user adjusts the slider to turn off UAC completely, it does turn off, but turns back on after next GP update although the slider will still show that UAC is disabled. The same applies to the built-in Administrator account. But if the Domain Administrator account disables it, it does not turn back on. That's weird. I'm just new in this forum and I dont know if im in a right thread I have this problem that i really want to solve.

I have a desktop computer at home and there are 3 people using it, at 1st we are using only one account, but i felt comfortable on it so i decided to create them a separate user account, by the way my OS in win7 pro. Now there are 3 available user account in my computer.

What I want to now is to disable the control panel and RUN on their start menu. If you are an administrator, you can click Yes to continue. If you are not an administrator, someone with an administrator account on the computer will have to enter their password for you to continue. If you give permission, you are temporarily given the rights of an administrator to complete the task and then your permissions are returned back to that of a standard user.

First open the Server Manager Console and click on Tools. Now click Group Policy Management from the drop down. Right click on the domain and click on Create a GPO in this domain and link it here. Provide a suitable name to the GPO and right click the policy and click on Edit.

On the right pane there are lot of settings that you see, so you need to modify the following policies. Check the box Define this policy setting and choose Elevate without prompting.

Check the box Define this policy setting and choose Disabled. The logged on users might see a notification that a restart is required to turn off user account control. After the restart of the client machine you will see that UAC is set to Never notify on the client machine. However users with admin access are changing it to never notify.

I was wondering if we have any option to block users from being turning it off.
