Today a admin mentioned how annoying the “Run as Administrator” option is on Server 2008, well I agree so here’s how to turn it off:
Click Start
Type UAC:
Click “Change User Account Control Settings” and change the sliding setting. I chose Never notify:
Click OK and Yes if prompted.
If for some reason this doesnt change UAC for all users of the server you either need to create a group policy to change:
“User Account Control:Run all administrators in Admin Approval”
or you can change it locally using Local Security Policy i.e.
Click Start, Run, type:
secpol.msc
Go to:
Find: “User Account Control:Run all administrators in Admin Approval” and choose Disabled.
Done.
