Re: Windows versus Application Security



Another option could be to use roaming profiles
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243420/en-us allowing the profile to be
always available and allowing deletion server side...
Looks like more a question for an admin group...

I'm not sure for the other part what you are trying to do ? Do you have a
SQL Server 2000 application that doesn't relate to this or do you mean you
could have to create one to workaround this profile issue ?

I have a client that wants me to set up security for an windows .NET
application using SQL Server 2000 as the DBMS. Currently we use the built
in
Windows security to define login and access to the database.

The problem is that there is a lot of turnover and users work at multiple
XP
workstations. So everyone logins under a common user name and password.

Creating, managing and removing windows domain accounts are not the
problem.
The problem is that every time a new user logs on an XP workstation, that
user's folder structure is created on that machine. So, event though
individual windows accounts are manageable, having to go through each
workstation and clear out the users folders when they leave is not
manageable
-- not to mention the waste of disk space.

Is there a way to prevent XP from creating the individual user's folder
structure for each user?

If I must create an application login system, what is the best way to do
this? That is how do I pass the identity of the user from one form to
another?
