    So I just got Battlefield 4 for my PC Windows 10, and when I went to launch it it simply didn't launch. Origin the launcher the game is on just minimizes like it's going to launch the game but then comes back like the game crashed or something.

  3. GPO local admin access for Domain user

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the GPO that I created for certain domain user to get local admin access in their computer.

    I have created new GPO in domain and do the setting as what I have learned.

    They policy I enabled located at Computer Configuration but not User Configuration.

    The question is :

    If User A have local admin access logon on his PC, are User B or following user able to gain this local access right too when they logon into the same PC?

    Regards,

    Keith
