Enhancement: Remove NT/Interactive from Power Users Group

No, we don't want to go mucking about with the system groups. Other software that doesn't care about security might be broken in that case - it has to be a specific step by the admin.

You can remove it from the commandline using:
net localgroup "Power Users" interactive /delete

Ämne: [BUGS] Enhancement: Remove NT/Interactive from Power Users Group

Hi,

I would say that the Installer executable always fails if NT/Interactive user is there in the Power User's group.
Can we enhance the code, so that just for installation it goes and removes interactive users prior to the actual
installation & once installation is successful add it back there?

Alternately does anybody know of a script which will do that?

Thanks & Regards,
Mehul

Speaking of users, what are we doing about the creation of a 'postgres'
user on XP home with no easy way for the user to remove it except via
the command line?

Today I was with the person who reported this problem and I can confirm
that on XP Home the command line is the only way to remove it. I am not
sure it has to be an FAQ but I am wondering why more people don't
complain about it.
