Windows

But I AM the administrator

A while back I was helping a co-worker with a project where the customer needed to automate a lot of minor Windows configuration steps on some Windows IoT server appliances. One of the tasks was to make it possible to disable Windows Firewall, because even an administrator was greeted with the message "For your security, some settings are managed by your system administrator" and the option to change firewall settings was disabled.
