Fully Disable User Account Control In Windows Server 2012

To disable User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Server 2012 & Windows Server 2012 R2 open Control Panel -> User Accounts, click on Change User Account Control settings and select Never notify:
uac1
uac2

But in fact it is not so simple. After installation and configuration of some software, I noticed that disabling UAC via Control Panel did not help me.

To permanently disable the UAC, you mast set the registry key EnableLUA under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System  to 0x00000000 (0) as per the following MSDN article here.  Following a reboot, UAC was completely disabled and all worked correctly.
