Administrator rights to the Server for the Network Client Install

Administrator rights to the Server for the Network Client Install

To allow a user to run a Network Client Install, the user must be able to read the server's registry. (This access is not necessary for Local Clients.)

There are two ways to achieve this:

     Make the user an Administrator on the server.

or

     Give the user Read Permission to the registry, as described below:

1.  Open the registry editor using RegEdt32.exe and navigate to the following key:

       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg  

2.  View the permissions for this registry key by selecting Edit\Permissions (as per Windows XP) from the menu. THE PERMISSIONS ON THIS REGISTRY KEY APPLY TO THE WHOLE REGISTRY.

3.  Add a user or group and give them Read permission. The user or group will then be able to read the whole registry.
