With UAC, you can run most applications, components and processes with a
limited privilege, but have elevation potential for specific administrative tasks
and application functions.
During OMCI installation or uninstallation, depending upon the access level
of the user, Windows Vista prompts the user for administrator authorization.
You must provide the administrator password for installing or uninstalling
OMCI if you have standard account privileges, since OMCI installation and
uninstallation need administrative privileges. Even when you are logged in as
a member of the Administrators group (except the Administrator account),
UAC requires you to give your consent to allow the installation or
uninstallation.
NOTE: Since the user experience is configurable with the Security Policy Manager
snap-in (secpol.msc) and with Group Policy, there are multiple UAC user
experiences. The configuration choices made in your environment will affect the
prompts and dialogs seen by standard users, administrators, or both. The specific
behavior of the UAC elevation prompt is dependent upon the Security Policy setting.
