Values​

option specifies whether or not UCMD Server child processes execute with an elevated user token.

Valid values for option are:

  • yes
    Override the UCMD Server ELEVATE_USER_TOKEN option and execute the UCMD Server for Windows child process with an elevated user token (that is, one not subject to User Account Control (UAC) restrictions).
  • no
    Override the UCMD Server ELEVATE_USER_TOKEN option and execute the UCMD Server for Windows child process with a default user access token, which may or may not already be elevated. If it is not an elevated token, some operations subject to UAC restrictions may fail.

There is no UCMD Manager default for this option; it is provided only to override the configured value for the UCMD Server ELEVATE_USER_TOKEN configuration option.
