2.5 Starting the command prompt
When OS user account control functionality (UAC) is enabled, the command prompt can run under the following two permissions modes:
-
Administrator permissions mode (administrator console)
This command prompt can perform all Windows operations.
-
Standard permissions mode (standard console)
This command prompt can perform operations possible with user permissions.
If user account control functionality (UAC) is disabled, the administrator console is always started.
Make sure that commands provided by Performance Management are executed in the administrator console.
