networks, permissions and PC-DMIS

seppley
Hello all.

I have been lucky up to this point in that my CMM computer is not hooked to the network... i have complete control of it. Now i have an offline DMIS and it is on my other computer, which is connected to the network.

With that comes all sorts of problems, cause the network is very large (nationwide) and complex. I just tried to run the Offline program for the first time and it will not let me run it throught the set up unless i am logged in under administrator! I also know that if you do not run DMIS as administrator, it can sometimes casue you problems, especially when trying to change setting and have it retain them.

So I ask, have any of you found a way around this? They will not grant me access as an administrator, so that is out. My local network manager said that he could possibly put DMIS in a folder on the network that i could have administrative access too, but he is unsure if that will work. Any of you have any better suggestions?

Thanks,
Sam

    Administrator Privileges Explained
    PC-DMIS versions earlier than v2012 require that you run PC-DMIS as an administrator
    because some system settings (for things such as last probe used, wrist angles, etc.) were
    shared among all users on that computer. This required that these settings were placed in the
    LOCAL_MACHINE section of the Windows registry instead of in the CURRENT_USER
    section (for user-specific settings). Making changes to settings in the LOCAL_MACHINE
    section requires administrator privileges.
    In PC-DMIS version 2012 and later, PC-DMIS's settings mechanism changed to only require
    Administrator access the very first time it runs at the end of the installation. From that point
    forward, standard user access is sufficient.
    The PC-DMIS installer has a flag built into the setup executable (setup.exe) that requires the
    setup process to run with administrator privileges. If the current user has lesser privileges, the
    setup displays a prompt to provide a username and password of an account with administrator
    privileges.
    Once installation finishes, the first time you run PC-DMIS, you must launch it with
    administrator privileges. If you mark the Launch PC-DMIS after the install finishes check
    box (as shown in the above image) when installation finishes, PC-DMIS does this
    automatically by passing the original privilege level of the installer onto PC-DMIS.
    Note, however that if you do not mark this check box, you will need to explicitly right-click on
    the shortcut and select Run as Administrator as described in Step 6 below.
