  Non admin user cannot use SA OSLC Feature
  

Problem conclusion

• Non admin user cannot use SA OSLC Feature. In 11.4.2.1 the  SAPo
  rtServiceRegstration utility is run from the installer.
  
  Note: If running on Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable .Net
   3.5.1 services before running the SA installer. The install wil
  l work fine without, but no .Net apps will work (i.e. this utili
  ty or SAREST\SAOSLC).
  
  The utility basically executes commands using the netsh/httpcfg
  so that service get registered for the port consumer by SA as OS
  LC Consumer.
  We need to execute either one of the utility netsh/httpcfg depen
  ding on the OS.
  
  The netsh utility is installed by default on following OS
  1) Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), Windows 7 Enterprise(64 bit)
  2) Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (64 bit)
  3) Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64 bit)
  
  The httpcfg utility is optional on some OS and is used for setti
  ng on Win2k3/Winxp. so if it is not there you may need to instal
  l from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1
  8546
  
  or
  
  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15326
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  Either use Run as administrator option or disable UAC on the mac
  hine
  
  The SAPortServiceRegstration utility is also available as a test
   fix at
