I have an application set as a remote app (W2012) that works fine. As long as only one person at a time runs it.
In order to set the application to run in multi-user mode, I have to use a switch "/m". This actually works well, but ONLY if the application (with the correct switch) is run with administrator privs. I tested it by logging on to the server
with two different accounts at the same time, starting up the command prompt with admin privs mode, and kicking off the application with the correct switch. Both sessions ran the same application at the same time with no problems. But ONLY if the
switch was used AND with admin privs.
So my issue is attempting to create the the remote app (or a vbscript/powershell sequence that is published as a remote app) to run with administrative privs.
Questions:
1. Is this possible to do?
2. If done, would this prove to be a big security concern for the server? The application itself can do no harm whether run with or without admin privs as it is built to only allow "read/view".
3. Can this work with UAC enabled on the server or would that have to be disabled? It seems as if the user might get a UAC prompt (even an admin on a server will get a UAC prompt if just to click OK).
Thanks,
