Re: "Error 70: Permission Denied" trying to trigger Adv Client fun

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I see, my understanding of the sequence of communications "pulls" is a little
better now, I thought both push/pull occurred at some point.

Since I can only define a single Advanced Client Network Access Account in
the Software Distribution section of Component Configuration, we may not be
able to fix this until this building is converted to a 2000/2003 domain.
Since this secondary site server is servicing both 2000/2003 domain machines
and NT4 domain machines, I may be stuck until the conversion occurs. Any
idea why there isn't an option to configure multiple Advanced Client Network
Access Accounts the way you can for legacy clients?
