Hello,

Thank you for trying to secure my computer, but because I pretend to be a
security user, and I have a lot of software to install, and a lot of
settings to configure, I want to turn this off for now and run all
programs unrestricted. How do I do this? Kill explorer and run it as
Administrator? Any better ideas, setting or registry entry?

This feature is called UAC, or user account control, and it blocks programs
from running with administrator rights unless you explicitly authorize them.
You can disable this feature in the User Accounts control panel using the
link at the bottom of that screen.

Also my Remote Wonder requires me to run the executable unrestricted so
that mouse can be moved and keys can be sent. What should I do here if I
want to run this application unrestricted with the default restricted
policy for all others?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to always allow a certain program to
always run with administrator power, because allowing this feature would
severely weaken the effectiveness of UAC. You will have to wait for un
update from the manufacturer in order to fix this problem.

Thank very much JB!
I will disable UAC for a while until my system is all set-up and ready to
go. I've been using 2k3 server (configured as server and workstation at the
same time) since the RC1 and I naver had the chance to catch virus or
malare, because I do respect security. And for this reason UAC will be back
on, when I`m done installing software.

You could run a command prompt window as an Administrative user and then
launch all of the setups and .msc and executables from that prompt. I
believe that will launch you programs in the security context of the
Administrator.

Further more I just realized that any connection attempt to port 80
on my computer will crush it on blue screen... Microsoft is using the
worst possible way to prevent us from installing IIS.

Or it could be that this is still a 'beta' operating system and you've found
a problem. Unlikely, I know. It's far more reasonable to assume that your
computer is being crashed as part of an evil plot to, er.. uh.. I'm sure
you'll think of something.

You mean crushed by exploit? Well It`s pretty firewalled to be exploited
from the net.
It crushes, when I attemp to connect from my computer.
Both browser (IE/firefox) or telnet:
telnet localhost 80
GET /
will crush the computer on a blue screen.
There`s no way MS can 'miss' such a significant bug.

..... resumed one hour later
That reminds me... Windows was not yet activated, because it offered me to
autoactivate on the 3rd day and I accepted this as a good idea (I`d had some
time to test and set it). Cruel policy from Microsoft! I forced windows to
activate and I think it works now. I`ll reinstall the IIS components (that I
removed for troubleshooting) and see if it works then.

If really this was because windows was not yet activated, then at least MS
could have said that somewhere on the blue screen.

It`s not the activation. I reinstalled some IIS components and it crushes
again.
I`m investigating...

I have indentified a bug in in IIS component Logging with path:
Windows Features
+Internet Information Serevices
++World Wide Web Services
+++Health and Diagnostic
[x] Custom Logging
[x] HTTP Logging
[x] Logging tools

When these components are selected, any connection attempt to HTTP services
will cause the computer to fail.
