How to Disable UAC in Windows Server 2008

[jamiecc]

Hi All.
I need to know how to disable UAC in Windows Server 2008.

I am having an issue where I can't overwrite an existing file on a network share but I can create/delete/modify files no problem.

I believe disabling UAC will solve it.

Thanks for all replies.

I came across that one and I don't have the Disable option.
Only change UAC. When I select it I get a drag down security box to set it to never notify...

Does this turn off UAC?
