    yes i've tried that before...it can run, but as ive said it needs the administrator account to log on windows. the monitoring software got some weak security features. im thinking of using MMC but i cant find how to prevent software installation. any suggestions pls.

    Look into software restriction policies, you can find them in Local Group Policy.

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
