Hi
I would like to discuss the possibility of using this great toolkit without being a local administrator. As a MSP, we have some customers who do not want their users to be local administrators, and the toolkit does not play nice with them. Some of the code in our deployment scripts need to run in user context, and don’t require local administrator.
I do know that many of the functions in the toolkit require local administrator to work. Maybe there could simply be a reduced set of functions available if Deploy-Application.exe runs without elevation?
We use this toolkit for nearly every application deployment in sccm, så it would rock to not need local administrator for everything.
See AppDeployToolkitConfig.xml in SCRIPTROOT\AppDeployToolkit
There is a setting called “Toolkit_RequireAdmin” which you could try and set to False. Haven’t tried it out, but seems to me it could be a possible workaround to your problem.
<Toolkit_RequireAdmin>False</Toolkit_RequireAdmin>
it works fine. Just double click Deploy-Applicatication.exe and it runs in logged in user’s context without admin prompt. Also, this is good to use when deploying app in PSADT via SCCM.
Is this something you use frequently? Latest v3.8.2 will definitely break this functionality - but was under the impression virtually no one did. I saw this a little too late
If you’re talking about the changed directory due to a possibility of the exploit. The path can be changed for toolkits running under user to a user accessible directory through the config file.
