The shares are simple, except when a tdb tanks and you have a crappy mapping id mapping schema involving unix and windows users (not ad). The printer sh~t OTOH is so fricking obfuscated and so laborious I'll forward you some humorous notes I kept later in the week. Some drivers just don't work worth sh~t, so what do you do? Auto deploy a generic? Visit every desktop? Bah, pay the license fee and deploy it on windows:) > I find that in stark contrast to MS Windows, where everything is >hidden in the registry, and it's a common practice to nuke the *entire >OS* to fix problems. That's how I got good at tweaking the old RIS setups with XP:) I wouldn't waste more than 5 minutes troubleshooting. All my apps are deployed via GPO. Profiles and Special Folders redirected. Poof, F12, problem solved every time, heh:) jlc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
