Re: Run As... non-Administrator

Από ότι φαίνεται πλέον είναι κάτι που "έχει ρεύμα βρε παιδάκι μου"! Φτιάξανε ένα site, Jonathan Hardwick της Microsoft, για να προωθήσουν την ιδέα:

How to run as a non-administrator - announcing a new community site

I’ve set up a new community web site at http://nonadmin.editme.com. It’s a place where anyone can share their experiences with running as a non-administrator in Windows – the good (tips, tools, and help for using a limited-user account), the bad (programs that won’t even install, let alone run, unless you’re administrator), and the ugly (workarounds and kludges). Here’s my quick attempt at a FAQ:

Why should you care?

Because running as administrator (which is unfortunately the Windows default) can be a serious security hole. If you use a limited-user account instead you’ll really reduce your computer’s “attack surface”. And if you set up your parents’ PC that way, you’ll really reduce your tech-support visits too!

Why bother bookmarking a new site?

Because while there’s lots of great information on the net about how to run as a non-administrator, there’s no single site that puts it all into one easy-to-find place.

Why is it a community site?

Because I’m lazy, and because other people are much smarter at this security stuff than I am! I can’t keep track of all the neat work going on in the community, but I do want to learn about it from the experts. If anyone can add their expertise and experience, we all benefit. A good example of another community site is the Windows Update Services wiki.

What’s already there?

I’ve added content and pointers from several bloggers, including Aaron Margosis, Brad Wilson, Eric Jarvi, Eugene Siu, G. Andrew Duthie, Jenni Merrifield, John Howard, Keith Brown, and Mike Smith-Lonergan. Please add more!

What about developers?

Don’t worry, there’s a section just for you. Learning to write applications that Just Work under a non-administrator account is already a requirement for getting a Windows logo, and it’s going to be even more important under Longhorn.

What’s all this talk about a wiki?

Shhhh… you weren’t supposed to notice! The folks at http://www.editme.com have done a great job at putting a user-friendly front-end on top of their wiki software, including a WYSIWYG editing control. If that is too much for you, you can just leave blog-style comments. Different strokes for different folks.

Didn’t Robert Scoble already blog this?

Yup – I sent out a “sneak peek” email last night, and he blogged it within 45 minutes! I had been planning to get more input from the experts over the weekend before announcing the site next Monday, but now that the secret’s out…

Έχω μπει κι εγώ σε αυτό το τριπάκι εδώ και μήνες! Άλλες φορές πάει καλά και άλλες όχι. Π.χ μπορώ να κάνω σχεδόν τα πάντα από το command line αλλά για να μπορέσω να χρησιμοποιήσω το usb Bluetooth πρέπει να τρέξω το utility του σαν Admin . Και πως μπορώ να φτιάξω ένα Web App με το VS 2003 όταν τρέχω σαν non-admin?b Πως να ανοίξω ένα παράθυρο explorer χρησιμοποιώντας runas?
Άσε το τί software κυκλοφορεί που θέλει ντε και καλά να είσαι admin! Ακόμα και τα τεστάκια για το MSDN πάνε και γράφουν στοιχεία στο Program Files! Ακόμα και το τεστ για Security!

Πολλές από τις απαντήσεις σε αυτά τα προβλήματα τις βρήκα σε ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον blog με συμβουλές για να τη ζωή σαν non-admin. Άλλα πράγματα τα παλεύω, τα παλεύω. Ας είναι καλά το runas, τα terminal services του Win 2003 και το Fast User Switching!

Run As... non-Administrator

Βρήκα στο MSDN ένα ενδιαφέρον άρθρο...
Δείχνει πως μπορεί κανείς να τρέξει εφαρμογές με μειωμένα δικαιώματα ενώ χρησιμοποιεί administrative account. Χρήσιμο για όλους τους αμετανόητους που επιμένουν να κάνουν login ως administrator
