A policy change is made in the SMSMSE Administration console. However the other SMSMSE components do not read the change and take the appropriate actions.
The following are examples:
Conditions
1. Open the Local Security Policy MMC.
2. Click on Local Policies|Security Options.
3. If User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations is Enabled then this condition is met.
The SMSMSE Administration console is being affected by UAC virtualization. All changes made to files on the file system are written to the virtualized file system rather than the "real" location.
The other SMSMSE services are not affected by the UAC virtualization. They read the settings from the "real" location. Since these settings files are not updated no changes take effect.
Configure the SMSMSE Administration Console to run always as administrator:
1. Right click the console icon and choose Properties.
2. Click the Open File Location button.
3. Right click the file Symantec.Cmaf.UI.exe and click Properties
4. On the Compatibility tab check Run this program as an administrator
5. Click OK.
