[AccessD] FE on Server for Each User

I think a simpler solution would be a directory on the PC that their user
has read/write rights on, with rights to create subdirs, copy files etc.
The same name folder on each workstation.  Thus the user does not have admin
rights, just simple rights to a single directory.

Subject: [AccessD] FE on Server for Each User

I have a customer whose parent company is requiring them to not have local
admin rights on each PC.  This causes problems when an updated FE file needs
to be automatically copied from the server to the folder on the FE.  This FE
file has not been in the folder under Documents and Settings that users do
have rights for.  Unfortunately, during this changover, a migration tool was
used, and now the user's folders under Documents and Settings have a variety
of different naming methodologies (same as before), so I can't
programmatically determine that folder's name for each user.

A suggestion has arisen to place each user's FE files on the server, with
each user having their files in a folder with their user name.  I can make
this happen programmatically, but I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on
this method.  Any pros, cons, or gotcha's?

Thanks!
Dan Waters
