I suppose the answer to this is to temporarily set up another remote access program under the local user account, but then I still have the UAC issue.
Teamviewer download older versions install#
This is expected behavior as Teamviewer is not running as a program with administrative access. I can get the remote user to download and run the latest Teamviewer version under their limited user account, and I can successfully connect, but then any time an administrative task is required, I cannot see the Windows UAC window asking for administrative credentials.For some inexplicable reason, Teamviewer seems to have disabled even this functionality.
In the older days of Teamviewer, there used to be a method where you could update a remote install of Teamviewer by supplying the administrative credentials, and then letting Teamviewer essentially perform an unattended in-place upgrade.These PCs are in remote locations that I WILL NOT HAVE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO any time soon. TeamViewer Host is used for 24/7 access to remote computers, which makes it an ideal solution for uses such as remote monitoring, server maintenance, or connecting to a PC or Mac in the office or at home.I DO NOT want to give the remote users administrative access.I DO have the administrative credentials to these computers.The remote users DO NOT have administrative access to their computers.I now also learn that TeamViewer has completely disabled all functionality with these older versions of Teamviewer.The time has come that I now need to support several of these PCs.
