On a Windows Vista-based computer, you want to suspend a Distributed File System (DFS) share root or directory tree by using the SuspendRoot method. You expect that this operation requires you to have only the local administrator permission on the computer. However, you cannot suspend the DFS share root or directory tree unless you also have read permission to the DFS.

You log on to a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based computer by using an administrator account. When you run a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query against the CIM_DataFile class, the WMI query returns incomplete results.

This problem occurs if you run the WMI query by using the Run as administrator option (Elevated Permission).

For example, when you run the following query by using the Run as administrator option, the query returns incomplete results.

Select * from CIM_DataFile where filename = filename and extension = extension_name

This issue does not occur if you run the query without the Run as administrator option.

On a computer that is running Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) in Windows Vista, you cannot perform certain privileged operations such as creating sockets, opening disk devices, opening driver device objects, and opening section objects. This is the case even if you are a member of the domain administrators group or a member of the local administrators group.

Only the built-in domain administrator or the built-in local administrator can perform these privileged operations.

Consider the following scenario. You develop an application that calls the CoGetClassObjectFromURL function to install an ActiveX control. A user who has the typical user rights and the typical permissions runs the application on a Windows Vista-based computer. In this scenario, you expect that the user can install an ActiveX control. However, the user is prompted to enter administrative credentials when the user tries to install an ActiveX control. Therefore, a user who does not have administrative credentials cannot install an ActiveX control.
