ScreenTask deployment: ‘Your Administrator Has Blocked This Program’

[RuvenG]

Hello,

so I was looking at different desktop-sharing programs recently and stumbled across ScreenTask. ScreenTask is exactly what I was looking for and it is great in every way, but i have a little problem.

I need to deploy it to Windows8.1 Systems over SCCM. I used the Zip-Standalone Version for it and everythings was fine so far. For me (an admin) everything worked perfectly, it is however not possible for a normal user to open the "ScreenTask.exe".

When you try to windows is spitting out ‘Your Administrator Has Blocked This Program’.

Im assuming Windows sees the program as an installation and not a executable programm that has alrdy been installed.

Is there anything I can do to make it work for a normal user?

Like I said, local admins can run it just fine, reg. users however can't.

Hello @RuvenG ,

Thanks for your feedback, i appreciate it so much, and hope you are enjoying using the app.

IMHO, i guess the problem is concerned with the normal user permissions on your domain, the application itself must be run as administrator in normal cases to get full access to some windows functionality like opening sockets and listening on ports, etc..., so this is mandatory for the application to get full permissions. and this why you can run it normally with local admin users, but normal users still need to get the ability of running it as administrator, this doesn't relate to the behavior of the application as an installation or executable program, it's related to your domain policy.

i guess this link will help you in this issue : https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/sccm-2012-allow-end-user-to-run-application-as-administrator.html

check it and tell me the results.

Yours, Eslam
