Virtual Media via VKC and AKC in a Windows Environment

Windows XP ® operating system administrator and standard user
privileges vary from those of the Windows Vista
®
the Windows 7 operating system.
When enabled in Vista or Windows 7, User Access Control (UAC)
provides the lowest level of rights and privileges a user needs for an
application. For example, a Run as Administrator option is provided for
Internet Explorer ® for Administrator level tasks; otherwise these are not
accessible even though the user has an Administrator login.
Both features affect the types of virtual media that can be accessed in
VKC, VKCS, and AKC. See your Microsoft
information on these features and how to use them.
Following is a list virtual media types users can access via VKC and AKC
when running in a Windows environment. The features are broken down
by client and the virtual media features that are accessible to each
Windows user role.
