We use Novell ZENworks to distribute applications across the enterprise, and we've figured out the "requires local admin" challenge of pre-installing the MeadCo ScriptX plugin using the msi and ZENworks' ability to dynamically create a local administrator
on demand. What we're running into now is that a vendor we are about to enter into a service contract with uses (I *think*) the licensed version of ScriptX, which includes an "Advanced Printing" feature that our end-users are not being prompted for until
they reach a page that requires it. In an enterprise environment where users are not typically local administrators of their desktops, the user gets prompted to "Clink YES or NO" to enable Advanced Printing, and if they choose YES then are then hit with the
UAC.
Is there a way to pre-enable/authorize/install the Advanced Printing feature(s) when I install ScriptX? Elevating our end-users to local administrators is a non-starter, so I'm looking for options available to enterprise systems administrators.
