I've had some profile related problems with Palm software when moving a user 
from one computer to another with roaming profiles.  The problem came about 
when, after logging into the new computer, I tried to install new Palm 
software and the installer complained that it couldn't uninstall the old 
software.  There are registry entries in the user's profile that have to do 
with the Palm software configuration.

In my case, the ultimate solution was to 
backup data, 
delete roaming profile from server, 
login as user on new computer to create new roaming profile, 
login as administrator
restore data, 
give domain user local admin rights, 
relogin as user
install software, 
remove admin rights.

Sounds like your user isn't an administrator on the machine.  You need 
to either
A. Install it as admin (which I realize doesn't help much on Palm 
Desktop software)
B. Add the domain user to the administrators group on the local machine

I have done that. I had to add the user as an administrator to get 
spysweeper to run.  I think it might be in the location of the temp file 
in the environment variables.

keydomain/jdow.  When logged into profile johnsmachine/John Dow, I can 
install and uninstall the palm software with no problem.  When I am 
logged into keydomain/jdow on the domain I cannot do any installs or 
uninstalls.

[Samba] Having problems running palm desktop or the uninstall program

2005-01-25 Thread Richmond Dyes
I have a user John Dow on a local machine  johnsmachine. I have a samba 
user jdow.  When I moved the profile john dow to the domain keydomain, I 
can't get the  install program to run.  This is how it looks.  I have 
local profile  johnsmachine/John Dow and roaming profile 
keydomain/jdow.  When logged into profile johnsmachine/John Dow, I can 
install and uninstall the palm software with no problem.  When I am 
logged into keydomain/jdow on the domain I cannot do any installs or 
uninstalls.
