Sure is - but they aren't going that way!

Sounds like a job for Terminal Services or Citrix

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
