How can I have users update without admin

Post by limbskars94 »

Is there a work around that will allow me to update the zimba connector for users who do not have admin privileges? I support over 80 users and everytime there is an update I have to enter admin privileges on each machine. Anyone know a way around this. If they do not update then they lose functionality such as calendar sharing.https://19216811.cam/ https://1921681001.id/

Hi, we have the exact same Problem. Outlook 2019 with ZOC 9.0.0.1891 on Windows 10.
It is the same Problem that happens when Outlook get's an Update.
Then the User needs admin privileges to update those 2 registry entrées.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search\Preferences]
"{D00FDE68-3E80-4f8c-899D-D9DD16BA7D1D}"=dword:00000001
"{FA9628A0-F223-4d5d-B314-E01BC8100572}"=dword:00000001

We would be happy for a solution too.

One possibility might be to look at doing an unattended install of the MSI file containing the Zimbra Connector from a Windows domain controller. Perhaps that could be installed on end user devices using a locally privileged system or network service account local to each end user's machine.

As a work-around you may be able to deploy it via a Group Policy; https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/ZCO_Instal ... hrough_GPO you should also be able to update it this way.

This would assume your users are domain joined. Giving users write access and execute permissions on the same location is a security issue. So the users themselves will not be able to 'update' ZCO without elevated privileges.
