Space shuttles aren't built for rocket scientists, they're built for astronauts. The goal isn't the ship, its the moon.

    Chronicles of a Least Privilege Developer - Day 1

    Well, my work day si winding down and I must say that so far, I haven't had any issues that were significant that I couldn't work around.

    Below are the issues, and solutions I encountered today.

     

    # Issue Solution
    1 Access denied to date/time on taskbar. Although  I use Outlook, and carry an analog planner (you know the paper kind), I like using the calendar on the task bar to find dates. No solution found.
    2 Could not run Virtual PC because it was "Ready Only" or "In Use". Well, not exactly. Apparently, you must be an admin to run VPC. Right click Start > Programs.Microsoft Virtual PC, select Run As and enter highly privileged credential. 
    3 Access denied when starting/stopping SQL Server on SQL Server Service Manager from taskbar.  Right click Start > Adminstrative Tools > Computer Management, select Run As and enter highly privileged credential. Expand Services, stop/start MSSQLSERVER service.
         

    All in all, not a bad day. Productivity was only minimally hampered.
