Hmm.I can appreciate that AFS is an excellent technology, but I'm a bit confused as to you suggesting it, given that we're dealing with Windows boxes on the client side. Could you point me to some info that gives an example of the solution you're recommending?

I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC for about 15 W2K boxes: . There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box . These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D I want to engineer a solution that would allow updates of the share to have changes propagated out to clients as the share is updated without the users being made aware. Essentially, the software vendor is demanding that everyone run their software from the network share as to ensure consistency, but I hardly think a 300 MB application with 15 MB (!!) executables (about 8 of them) is really suitable for being "deployed" in that fashion.
