When you assign applications to users they are not actually installed, a short cut is put into the Start menu/programs etc but the app itself will not be within the c:\program files\... The app. will only be installed when the user clicks on the shortcut. This causes quite some issues with remote / laptop users. If they are not on the network when they fire up the app for the first time it will not be available. Published apps will not appear in the start menu but are available from within the control panel or by file extension. I predominantly use machine based rollouts, this eliminates most of the issues, you can permission each job to a security group containing computers. As long as most of your users keep the same machine!

I find that it works quite OK if software is assigned to computer, however, if software is assigned to users, such that it's automatically installed if needed, it does not work as expected. As it appears there is no difference between pubishing and assigning software to users. someone seen this problem before. thanks, Regards ------ Nico Giardina, ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee and are confidential.
