I am trying to change my group policy settings temporarily to disable completely UAC. I have local admin rights on my machine, however the UAC options in Secpol.msc are disabled.
Any ideas?
Is this a domain computer?
If there is domain policy for these settings, your local policy option will be preconfigured and greyed out. For example, I've created a domain level policy for UAC auto-elevate. Below is how the settings appear within secpol.msc
for a domain joined computer affected by this policy.
secpol.msc
shows the setting from the domain level policy.
Note that I am unable to alter the policy locally.
You can view which policies, and their settings, are applied to your computer, and user, by running rsop.msc
.
