Hi All

I logged in to my coworker laptop long back. My profile is stored in that laptop. Now, the coworker is out of office and remotely connecting our corp network. I am network admin and I can remote in to his laptop. Some of his files seems corrupted and i want to run a chkdsk scan. I tried to open cmd - run as administrator, nothing opens and no errors pop up. Even i tried to open Services - as admin, it dont open. So i wanted to share my password(temporary) to the coworker, to login as admin and run chkdsk scan. However, since my login password changed, he could not use my temporary password also. - he need VPN or to be in office to validate the new password.

So my question is below

  • when the user logs in using his password, i can login remotely into his laptop using sccm. can i change my profile password, (C:\user\myprofile) so that when the user logs off his own account and login using my password, the laptop wont need to reach the DC..

    Hello, this is Emily.

    It sounds like the computer is domain joined and credential needs to be verified against AD.

    It is normal for remote app not to show the UAC sign in page to the remote user, but the local user could see the pop up box asking for admin credential.

    The problem here is that the remote computer is not connected with company server to check against AD. How long ago did you log into that computer? What's your company's cache credential expiration policy? If it is still within expiration, try the old password you used back then as it might be still cached.

    Otherwise, a standard user will not be able to change another user's password on the computer locally.

    The computer should still have a local admin user though. Do you know the credential of that local admin user. This is not your domain network admin user. If you know it, for username, key in:

    computername\username

    (replace computer name and user name accordingly). Then the password.

    =============

    If you cannot do any of this, the user should connect to company VPN, or bring the computer into company network in order to get it fixed.
