[dba-Tech] Windows Server 2008 Security

I can tell you that on my Vista machine, I had to go to Control Panel / User
Accounts and  then turn OFF UAC (User Accounts Control).

I was so annoyed with the way it was  blocking everything  until somebody
here (or AccessD)  gave me this hint.

Also, make sure you are in as Administrator.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows Server 2008 Security

My desktop is set up to dual boot into Windows Server 2008 and XP. When
running the server bootup, I keep getting denied permission to install
software, download files, etc. I cannot figure out where to go to relax the
restrictions or to give myself all godlike powers. I'm the only one who uses
this computer so I'm not particularly worried about things other than the
usual anti-virus and malicious software checks.

Can anyone tell me how to proceed?

TIA,
Arthur
