I have an accounting application that is running on server 2003.
The client piece works fine, but they wrote it so application
backup needs to happen locally. I cant give the user Domain
admin rights, but did allow remote desktop to the server. The
user can logon but the backup wont run without elevated
priveledges, and I dont see power users anymore. Any help would
be great.

Can't you use a scheduled task to run the backup?

This is needed for revision control, she backsup after each change
or groups of changes so she has an available and known backup
point. We run tape daily.

Then can you not direct the data output to a server drive- UNC or
mapped
drive?
I'd have serious words with the application developer if not.- Hide

The worst part is that it is a client/server application, with the
database and app on the server and the app on the client. The client
side wont backup to the server share, unless it is run from the app
installed on the server. I am calling the app developer today. I
still dont understand why the user cannot run the application in an
RDP session on the server.

That's nuts - so the client application (on the workstation) doesn't
have the same options as the client application (on the server)?

Are you sure you need to use this particular software??- Hide quoted

I didnt choose the software, cant imagine they will change it for me.

If it doesn't do what you need, your company should listen to you. Or your
company should re-evaluate the need for her to do these backups herself and
just do them automatically on the server/scheduled, which is how this stuff
normally works.

The app has the option it just wont function unless executed on the
same machine. YES ITS NUTS!!!

So why cant she run hte app in an RDP session?

Dunno. I don't know what kind of server this is. If this is a file server
only, I suppose she could, and you could see what happens if she tries. If
it's a DC or has any other roles on your network, forget it....users should
*never* be able to log in there.
