Desktop with Elevated Privileges Issues

• On a desktop with elevated privileges, if you use “Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features” to uninstall a program, you may see the following warning message and cannot uninstall the software.

  "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation."

  This issue happens when User Account Control (UAC) is enabled and when “Run with UAC restrictions” is selected when creating the new desktop. (Ref: 33384a)

• You cannot use the Start menu option “Switch User” while you are using a role-based, privileged desktop. To use the “Switch User” shortcut, changefrom the privileged desktop to your default Windows desktop. From thedefault desktop, you can then select Start > Switch User to log on as a different user.
