    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

  3. UAC allows users to install software without admin rights?

    Hi Everyone,

    It has come to our attention that our users can in fact install software without an admin account or an admin present. This is done simply by then doing the following:

    The user downloads the app / package.

    User runs install.

    User is presented with UAC.

    User puts their own username and password in presses enter and the software carrys on.

    Surely, UAC should not allow the user to proceed to install software? This is all enabled via Group Policy and everything is defined as it should be.

    Not sure why UAC is failing like this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    **Just found**

    When a user right clicks on a program and selects "Run as Administrator". Uses their own details it runs happily. Almost as if domain users have admin rights?

    How do I get downloaded software to install to the right user?

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
