Run as Administrator popup via Skype for Business drops remote connection

Question

Does anybody know why Skype for Business drops connection on situations where a remote computer asks Administrator rights? As soon as the user enters cancel the connection is retrieved. How to prevent that?

We are trying to use Skype for Business on simple administrative tasks on our AD-network. Usually we use this when a person is located in a remote location. Administrator could see and control remote computers and enter passwords etc.

Solution

This a security feature implemented by Microsoft, you can't disable it, there is no work around through it.

The above also requires Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Local Policies/Security Options "User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop" Enabled; to go along with "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation" Disabled.
