I've seen this in NT4, but not recently. In our case, the fix was to share out a parent folder, and delete the offending sub-folder from another machine via the share. Tyson. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom KernSent: Friday, May 05, 2006 9:24 AMTo:

We use an app called RADAR. (http://www.network-radar.com/) Licensed per site, I think we paid about $1100 CDN, and we use it on about 2500 desktops. Call it from the login script, it takes a few seconds to run, and puts together detailed inventories for each workstation and nice summaries.

We use a product called RADAR (http://www.network-radar.com/index.htm) It does a pretty good job of inventorying. We call it from the login script, and it pulls a complete list of all software installed, along with hardware details, IP info, user info, etc, and saves it to a back end server.
