Hi m_essaid,

 

I launch it either via script or by just clicking on the desktop icon, each time it is not launched as admin on the master machine, which is normal.

However the slave instances of TE are launched as admin and I really don't understand why :/ I don't seem to have much control over it, except making sure that TestExecute.exe within C:\Program File\Smartbear\TestExecute\bin\ does not have 'Start as administrator' checked

In spite of doing this, TE is still running as admin on slave machines.

Hello, this is still an issue for me.

 

UAC is enabled on slave machines, yet TE still manages to be launched as admin when ran from Master without any UAC prompt.
