The setup:
a Windows 2000 server - this is where Alpha Five is installed.
Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame XP are the way into the Win2K server from the outside world.
Alpha Five and the runtime version installed flawlessly. All patches were also applied w/ no problems.
The problem:
When the application was run at the Win2K server it ran w/ out any problems w/ admin privileges or basic user privileges.
When we then went to another server to access the application via the Citrix server and the Terminal Server, Alpha Five could not run the application. The error message said the there was a problem writing back the registry and it also specified the path that Alpha Five is installed at on the Win2K server.
So after reading this message board we saw that if the domain for the Alpha Five app were put under the Power user group on the Win2K server the application ran.
Here's the sticky part. This company's security policy dictates that there can be no power users. Instead they spend weeks searching for the registry keys that applications need to modify to run and give full rights to those keys to whatever domains need access.
We've consulted a Win2K Server reference book and cannot find anything that specifically states that the Power User profile has registry read write privileges that the basic user profile doesn't have.
Can anyone tell us what keys do we need to give this domain rights to so the Alpha Five application can run.
Thank you.
