ITsVISTA KB-Link: KB942493

You are prompted to provide your administrative credentials when you try to open a Systems Management Server (SMS)-based item in Control Panel on a Windows Vista-based computer

Consider the following scenario:

  • You use a non-administrative user account on a Windows Vista-based computer.
  • This user account belongs to a group other than the Users group. Additionally, this group has a linked token.
  • You try to open a Systems Management Server (SMS)-based item in Control Panel.

    For example, you try to open the Run Advertised Programs item in Control Panel.

In this scenario, you are prompted to type your administrative credentials. Therefore, you cannot open the item in Control Panel.
