Front End Installation Server - Administrator rights on client PC's

[former_member263733]

We are using a third party repackaging tool to deploy sapgui to our workstations. This has proven to be problematic in the past and are now considering the SAP Front End Installation server approach.

After reveiwing the installation guide we are wondering about how packages are deployed to workstations. Our users do not have administrator priveleges on thier workstations, so is it still possible to deploy packages from the installation server (either where they "pull" it down, or it is pushed down to them).

This factor is one reason we are still using the third party repackaging tool because packages can be deployed under a "system" account (via a cleint agent on each PC) - in lieu of each user having administrator privelges on their workstations.

If the SAP Installation server requires users to have these elevated priveleges it won't be an option for us. Does anyone else have any experience with the Installation server and users who do not have administrator priveleges?

Any feedback, directions, or links to additional resources would be greatly appreciated and happily rewarded with positive feedback and reward points

thanks,

Hi Jeff. Try to download the SAPGUI 710 instguid. Go to http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000614745&; in left press on

"SAP GUI for Windows" --> 7.10, download this file. In this Guide you can read about :

Local security handling (LSH) lets users on the network deploy SAP front-end components on

their front ends using NetWeaver SAPSetup without requiring administrative privileges on

each front end. Regards.
