How do most organizations deploy sqlnet client to a large user base? We've currently
got hundreds, maybe thousands of users with various versions of the client installed
on their desktop. We're also about to roll out Windows 2000 to a large percentage of
these users. In testing we've determined that earlier desupported client versions
(7.3.4 and such) seem to work on W2K with the apps currently deployed. I'm not happy
with a "cross your fingers and hope" approach and have been pushing to get most users
up to 8i as a client. Ideally I'd like to have something the users can download and
install from the intranet. In searching technet downloads all I find is the entire
bloated 200MB Oracle Client as a download - much too big for our remote users to
download and install. All I want is the Net8 pieces I'd need for sqlworksheet, or
TOAD, or an ODBC connection, so that the download and install time would be within
reason. Anybody have suggestions? How are people on this list deploying Oracle apps
to many users? Thanks.
