Hey, maybe you guys have any suggestions.
This is the problem:
Software for school is installed under local admin.
software works now.
then we login under account for the class.
then on like 5 out of 10 computers it doesn't work.
complaining there are no rights to open the database. wich is truth, but its nowhere having rights. but we changed to full rights on the files and folders of the software pack. still nothing.
so its like russian roulette to where it will or won't work...
have to be said ... computers aren't the same ... also have different some OS XP and some 2000.
1 thing i'm gonna check now if its maybe the XP OR 200 only having problems
if its something like that would be simple

for some reason i think those people can't program .... so i have uninstalled from 4 computers, all windows XP, reinstalled .... and now on 3 computers its working on both accounts, but 4th computer its still claiming it doesn't have acces to the database ...
IS it possible this is a user right issue ? or would it be an error in the software ?
--
software is flash / director, database is ms access file.
i don't get how they can sell this mess to schools, i think i could do this much better importing the list of children on a simpler way .. it takes like 1 hour to "install" + import list of names, remove unneeded names, fix the right issues....

It's probably not the software because you say yourself it worked under the local admin account.
Are the PC's in a domain? Maybe the rights are overruled by the domaincontroller.
I'm just trying to isolate the problem for you, I'm not a good network/sysadmin... More kind of a programstar.

impossible to tell ... this school has some hobby dad doing the servers, and he doesn't allow others to acces the server .... i've talked to the director at that school, and i can take a look at the settings, cause there are mistakes on the accounts they can't open there own private folder.

lol, i have some rights to visit te server and i'm lmao
they made directory's for new children, and copyd some parts to these folders, but those folders they moved didn't get new rights. those may only be visited by another group wich doesn't have acces to that maindirectory
so now i fixed that everyone should be able to save to there own personal folder
but laugh about this:
30 children get 1 account group4 (example)
group 4 has a directory on the server
\\server\group4\james
\\server\group4\jannet
they give FULL ACCES to group4 folder
wich meens they can adjust rights, so one kid can lock all subfolders by removing admin + group4 rights
how stupid can one be ?

currently i'm writing a document on howto get a more secure network, this "networking dad" can't do shit if this would be his real life job i wonder where they allow him to work ... maybe for the goverment whahahahahahhah lol
i'm gonna write some tool so all folders are automatically updated + rights will be set for the correct owner.
also gonna make a statement that it cna't be like both windows 2000 and XP its a mess kids don't understand ....
also all windows should be locked ... now its asking the kids do you want to update windows now .... for christ sake this should be disabled instantly when an update is needed a systemadmin should isntall all updates everywhere at oncde ... after testing if the update doesn't mess up some software.

If I were in that classroom as a kid I would already have installed rootkits, keyloggers.. Depends of the age f the kids you have in there of course. :roll:
