2 General Notes
2.1 Administrative Login
This document assumes you are logged in with administrative permissions and therefore
are allowed to perform the changes described.
2.2 User Account Control
The User Account Control controls access to functions that require permissions above the
default user. If you see warning messages between the described steps, you have to
acknowledge them before proceeding.

2.3 Differences between Windows Versions
For this documentation, Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows 7 are used. In most cases,
the basic steps are very similar compared to other Windows versions. If a setting differs
too much, we hint you where to find it in other Windows versions.
2.3.1 Hints for Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012
With Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, Microsoft removed the Windows Start Menu
button and instead replaced it with a new designed tile view.
This view can be reached by either pressing the Windows key or moving the mouse to the
lower left corner and clicking.
In general, the new looking tiles screen behaves similar to the previously known Windows
Start Menu:

- If you begin entering words to search for, you will get a result view which is similar
to Windows 7.
- If you want a command to execute, enter it and hit ENTER or CTRL + SHIFT +
ENTER to execute the command either with normal or administrative permissions
– similar to Windows 7.
Figure 2-2: Example of entering a command to execute directly in the tiles view
- Some tiles also support context menu entries. If you right- click at them you will get
a list of options in the lower part of the screen. For example, you can still right-
click at the Computer tile and click “Properties” to see the System Settings
Window.

Some additional tips to handle the new interface:
- Right-click in an empty area on the tiles screen to show the “All apps” entry. If you
choose it, you will get all the Start Menu entries shown which in fact is very similar
to the classic Start Menu.
- To switch to the Windows Desktop, either click the appropriate tile or hit Windows
+ D.
