We are having issues with PDQ deploy and UAC. We are testing a silent install of office 2013 and it hangs because UAC. I have tried turning off uac and reboot and then install office and then reboot but it fails. When installing office it immediately goes into a reboot and does not wait for office to install. Does anyone have any tips when dealing with UAC? Im almost to a point to create a software deployment OU and use GPO to disable UAC...

see if turning on the policy to elevate administrator accounts without prompt works.

If not, your users should not be running as administrators so you should be able to just disable UAC. I disable UAC on my domain and none of the users run as administrator. UAC is mainly used for users who are logged in as administrator and want to be prompted when doing administrative tasks or for limited users who want to easily be prompted to elevate administrative tasks with admin credentials.
