Turn off UAC in a domain using Group Policies

Turn off UAC in a domain using Group Policies

By Andreas Stenhall March 30, 2008 Group policies, Security, User Account Control, Windows Vista 0 Comments

Some people for whatever reason want to turn off UAC for all or certain computers in a domain using Group Policies. This is done by setting the Computers Configuration > Windows Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode to disabled. As usual when turning off UAC a reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
