Hello everyone:

 

I'm wrestling with how best to push the 6.3 User tool across my
enterprise.  We have literally hundreds of users, so we're thinking of
doing an automated push via SMS to replace the existing 5.1.2 client
with the 6.3 client.  I have the whitepaper that describes setting up a
silent install of the client, which looks good, but what concerns me is
it looks like on Windows it wants to create the home directory to the
following location:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\rho\Application Data\<user_ID>\AR System\Home

 

Where <user_ID> is the user currently logged on.  That's fine and good
for machines with single users, but I'm concerned about machines with
many users.  For example, we have several Help Desks where the analysts
do not have designated machines-they rotate from machine to machine.
Moreover, in the 24 hour shops, the day crew guy logs off and the mid
crew guy takes his place and logs on to the same shared workstation.
This installer looks like it wants to create the Home directory in one
user's folder space, which might be fine for the person who installs the
client, but what about the guy who comes after him and tries to use
Remedy? Won't it try to use the Home directory in the first guy's folder
structure?

 

Thanks,

Norm
