title: UAC Enforcement for ProgramData in Windows Server 2012
body: <p>A file is created under C:\ProgramData\Example. This file is created with 'Full Control' permission for Administrators group. A domain user with Administrators privilege is able to overwrite file with new copy in Windows Server 2008 R2. When same is tried in Windows Server 2012, it is failing with Access denied. I disabled UAC by following procedure mentioned @ <a href="https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13953.windows-server-2012-deactivating-uac.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13953.windows-server-2012-deactivating-uac.aspx</a>. </p>
  
  <p>After change, I am able to overwirte file with new copy in Windows Server 2012. Is there any change in UAC behavior with respect to C:\ProgramData folder and its content in Windows Server 2012?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
