I want to do IT-Support with Microsoft Lync Desktop sharing. Only problem, I have to disable UAC, because if UAC is enabled I get a black screen and the user has to click to accept, what I want to do.

Usually the user moves away from the computer while I'm working on it.

I know this is by design of Lync, but is there a better Solution then disabling UAC anyone aware of?

Isn't there a policy setting which continues showing UAC-dialogs, but making them clickable from remote? – Florian Lagg Nov 19 '12 at 12:34
There might be have you looked? Knowing what verson of Lync is helpful. Why don't you just use Microsfot Remote Desktop instead? If you are trying to do remote technical support that is a better option. – Ramhound Nov 19 '12 at 16:19
I'm sorry, I missed that information. It's Lync 2010, hosted on Microsoft servers (Office365). Remote Desktop needs pre-configured firewall rules, and therefore is not useable in all cases. I need to support many people moving around with their laptops, ... – Florian Lagg Nov 20 '12 at 9:37
I would contact Microsoft for assistance int his matter. – Ramhound Nov 22 '12 at 3:37
