[dba-Tech] Modified Non-Admin Rights?

Each client has a shortcut to the AutoUpdater, which is on the server.  Each
time a user wants to open my system, the AutoUpdater will first check for
needed files on the Client, update if needed, then open the FE file on the
client, then will close itself.

I think the best thing to do is to apply the security change to the
AutoUpdater file on the server.  Does that sound right?

How does the Auto updater run now? If it was me, I'd make a shortcut to the
executable or batch file, and stick it in scheduled tasks. In there, there's
an option to use different credentials, and the same option is available on
Shortcut/Advanced tab of the shortcut properties. At least that's how mine
run at work.

John,

Could you give me more detail?  This will be applied to an Access .mdb file
rather than a shortcut.  Is this done in the Security tab?

Yes, if the PC uses Windows XP, you can right click on the shortcut or
program file and set it to run as another user, it's precisely for that
purpose. You'll need your administrator to put their username and password
in for you, and remember that when they change their password, they'll have
to change the one in the shortcut.

I have a Network Administrator question - which I am not.

I have an Access FE/BE system installed at a customer.  This system has an
AutoUpdater file (on the server) which copies updated system files from the
Server to the Client as needed when the Client tries to log in.  However, on
Client PC's where the user does not have local Admin permissions, this
copying is being stopped, so the system won't run.

Is there a way to create some type of exception so that a Client PC can
receive the updated files when a user logs in who doesn't have local Admin
permissions?


Thanks!
Dan Waters
