Hi @all!
I've installed VDP-Appliance as documented and have successful made backups for all VM's in my Cluster (3 ESXi-Hosts).
Today I tried to use the feature "file level recovery" for some Windows-Clients (here: Win7).
https://<ip of vdp-apliance>:8543/flr/
When I put the credentials of a LOCAL ADMIN from this Win7-Client; I get following error-message:
Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen. The username supplied is not a local administrator
This message is misleading, because by looking into the logfiles (/ usr/local/avamarclient/bin/logs/VmMgr.log) of vdp-appliance it seems that the vdp-client try to put some files in C:\ of the Win7-Client to check if the login-credentials are valid:

I noticed when I was disabled UAC (Windows User Access Control) on Win7-Client then I can login to vdp-client successful (and files in C:\ can be created)
Then
But disabeling UAC by Domain-GPO-Rules or rather for whole Win7-Client are not allowed by my Windows-Admin.
So there 're any solution to disabeling UAC only for the VDP-Restore-Client?
