If someone finds a way to allow this to work with UAC, please let me know. Now your users can install fonts on Vista or Windows 7. Once this is all done, reboot your machine. I'm going to test this out with a couple of test users and see if I see any issues with it before I push it out to my network via group policy.

Don't forget to give them access to %systemroot%/system32/FNTCACHE.dat and registry setting KLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Fonts.īasically all of these things can be done via group policy but it's a multiple steps. Now you have to take ownership of the directory so you can add your users to have access to that directory. This will remove the System folder settings.

You open it by right clicking and selecting " Run as Administrator", and then type in attrib -r -s %systemroot%/fonts. You can change this by going to a command prompt, ensure You will notice that the Font Directory is a System folder and you can't view or change who has permissions. Now you have to ensure that your users have the correct access to Font Directory / registry.

Once this screen comes up, select it to "Never Notify". Go under the Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings. The way that I found around this was to disable the UAC. I do like the functionality of UAC but it does add a headache here. I also created a test OU in Active Directory and created a new Group Policy group that had only this one policy in it to ensure that none of my other group policies were effecting it but still no luck. The policy has pushed successfully as I see the permissions have changed on the folders but the regular users still get prompted to input an administrative login and password. I've currently created a policy to allow Domain Users full access to folders: %systemroot%\fonts %systemroot%\system32\FNTCACHE.dat and registry key: KLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Fonts This is how I understand it if you want to allow users to install Fonts, give them access to these directories and registry key and you are good. I'm running Windows SBS 2008 and my clients are predominately Windows 7 with some Vista and XP machines.I want to be able to configure a group policy so that regular users can install Fonts without having an administrator come over to input their username and password.
