As a standard user you won't be able to install any program and the administrator would be able to do it.
You need to contact to the administrator and ask them to do it.
They would be able to do it remotely.
In other case, the administrator could grant you sufficient permission so you could perform these tasks.

Hi,
Welcome to share here!
This can be done through the UAC settings.
Policy path : Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options in the Local Security Policy snap-in.
For the standard users ,check the policy : User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Set it to :Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
And the policy : User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation Set it to : Enabled
Best Regards,
thanks for your replay i changed the policy and test it by installing a program in a standard user pc but it says you don't have administrator privilege
and didn't prompt for credentials
Hi,
Configure the policy: User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Set it to: Prompt for credentials
Did you check if the group policy was applied successfully?
Best Regards,
yes i checked and log off and log on with a standard user and test by installing a program
i run 2008 r2 server with win 7 clients
please advice if i have to do with anther solution
thanks :)
Hi,
If possible, would you please share a screenshot of the gpresult?(Hide the privileged information)
Run CMD as administrator and type command: gpresult /h c:\report.html
Best Regards,
ok i attached the screen shoots
Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
You share the screenshot of the GPO settings, right?
For now, we need to confirm if the GPO was applied.
Run CMD as administrator and type command: gpresult /h c:\report.html
Best Regards,
thank you for your time :-)
Hi,
Which GPO did you used to edit the UAC policy?
It seems the policy was not applied.
Best Regards,
Hi，
I am checking to see if the problem has been resolved.
If there's anything you'd like to know, don't hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
