Description
[Imported from gridengine issuezilla http://gridengine.sunsource.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2704]
Issue #: 2704 Platform: PC Reporter: pollinger (pollinger) Component: gridengine OS: Windows XP Subcomponent: install Version: 6.2 CC: None defined Status: NEW Priority: P4 Resolution: Issue type: DEFECT Target milestone: --- Assigned to: dom (dom) QA Contact: dom URL: * Summary: on Windows, the installation should check if the installing user is really the Administrator Status whiteboard: Attachments: Issue 2704 blocks: Votes for issue 2704: Opened: Thu Aug 28 04:23:00 -0700 2008 ------------------------ On Windows the installer should check if the installing user is the local Administrator with UID 197108, and not just a member of the Administrators group. Installing the Execd as a member of the Administrators group (or as the Domain Administrator or a member of the Domain Administrators group) is a typical error because on Windows, all these users have the necessary permissions to install a service. On Interix, this is not the case, because Interix is a POSIX subsystem and POSIX allows only one "Superuser", which is the local Administrator. As it is possible to install Grid Engine as a "normal" user, too, of course the installer may perform this check only in case of a root or admin user system.
