Credentials for Task Manager

Task manager in Windows 10 is not the same thing as Task manager for Windows 7 & earlier.

• You can, for example, alter Startup items that you used to use MSConfig for in earlier Windows versions.

• If you are logged in to an Admin user account, Task manager in Windows 10 always challenges for Admin permission when it starts.
  
• If you are logged in to a Standard user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will open without any Admin challenge.

• If you are logged in to an Admin user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will allow you to alter entries in the Start-up tab such as disabling an item.
  
• If you are logged in to a Standard user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will only allow you to alter entries in the Start-up tab that affect that user account only. If you try to alter an item that affects other users, the disable command is greyed
  out.

Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

What are your ideas?

 

Managing password resets for local admin

Without knowing how things are integrated, if they are, or how they are, especially for current access control privileges and restrictions, you're really at odds for deploying anything useful to your managed infrastructure.

Maybe you can work with one of the security division's engineers to obtain that information if you have reached a level of trust and the task for what you're doing is something you should be officially taking care of. In that case, you need to be at least privy to what solutions are being utilized for user account management, security, and access, what third party print management service(s) are in-use, etc.

The issue here is if you're access is limited, your knowledge of the infrastructure and deployed solutions is limited, it'll be nigh impossible to provide a consistent usable solution that will even work for your site's needs and requirements. That puts you at a major disadvantage, so hopefully you can work with someone that does have that knowledge.

As I suggested above with printers, sounds like unless the software can moderate access on the default admin/access account, you'll be faced with manual access of each device to manage them appropriately. At which point doing what I suggested above might make sense, it also might help to task an individual at each site with taking care of this task to break it down into manageable chunks.

Some devices allow or offer centralized management, but not knowing if what your site has deployed all are able to use that or if the third party management for printers and scanners is merely for access control, print count limitation, etc. or if it also allows device account modifications as well again leaves you at a disadvantage.

In security, knowledge is key. You have to know how a site is deployed, managed and ultimately used. Without that knowledge coming up with an appropriate account management solution that you can actually execute beyond a written proposal won't happen. I am curious exactly what they expect from you here if anything beyond a written proposal or maybe they want you to find out what they already know?

Either way, sounds like you need to know more about what you're working with to get to the end result you seek in an appropriate fashion. *Toast :toast:
