Registering from Admin account

[Barry]

So renaming the file back at AISBackup.aik still complained that the job should be run as admin?

I have e-mailed you a link to a test program which just reports the administrator status as AISBackup sees it.

Correct.

Your test program says my account is NOT administrator! I created a new account from that account, made it a member of Administrators and then ran it again. It says this account IS administrator, and I could register AISB without any problems.

So far as I know you can't create an acc with more privs than you start with, so something's very odd!

Interesting! (but also annoying)

There is another part of AISBackup which looks for admin accounts:

Tools / Auto Running AISBackup / MS Task Scheduler button.

Is your user account name in the "NT User account Name" drop down list?

This list only displays active administrator accounts.

Yes, along with Administrator and Ian, the account I created earlier.

That's good, the way the admin account is detected can be changed.

I've done a bit more testing - it looks like the problem happens when you log in to a domain server.

I cannot be sure, because I have not tried this from a Domain Administrator account, but I am sure build 280 (the version uploaded today) will be able to register AISBackup from a Domain Administrators account.

The posted version is still build 279.

I've just tried build 280 and that registers OK!
