Software always installs to Domain Admin account on connected PC-cant install to Domain User account


    have completed following steps:
  1. set windows server 2012 r2 essentials successfully
  2. successfully connected windows 8.1 pro pc network running essentials connector software
  3. the pc has following users: original local account created when installed windows 8, domain admin account created when ran essentials connector account, domain user created after pc connected network.

everything seems working fine. have installed ms office 365 pro, skype, various other applications while logged in domain user. every 1 of these installs triggered a uac prompt, expected, , after entering domain admin credentials install proceeded successfully. after install, software available domain user, shortcuts appeared in start menu or desktop, appropriate directories created in documents folder.

all except 3 applications - upon being prompted permission install, enter domain admin credentials, installation proceeds, software installed domain admin account-not domain user account. shortcuts appear on domain admin desktop-not domain user account, etc. i've tried:

  • downloading new copy of software domain user desktop & running there
  • right-click file, install admin
  • click file, install different user
  • right clicking file, properties>compatibility & changing compatibility settings
  • right clicking file, properties>compatibility>run administrator

none of these options have changed result, software still installed domian admin account opposed domain user account. idea why these 3 software wont install correctly else has? suggestions how install software profile doesn't involve making domain user administrator? help!

hi voltron5,

many programs may provide options: "install everyone" or "just current user", when install them. please check if there such options during installation process.

if 3 programs third-party applications. suggest should contact corresponding support , confirm this.

if 3 programs microsoft applications, please let me know specific information of 3 applications? such names , on. meanwhile, when complete installation, please check software path added in administrator environment variables or system environment variables.

hope helps.

best regards,

justin gu
