Steve Riley in an ITShowtime says that most programs that can't run restricted user write gunk to local machine or user or whatever he said ... [it's a great series...I'd strongly urge you to watch/listen]...so here I am fighting with a workstation ...not with Quickbooks restricted user..but our Time and Billing program.
Practice Solution 3027Cannot Update. Database or object is read-only.
Grrr... and when I go through the registry looking for places where this writes.. man almightly is this sucker all over the ClassesRoot hive just like Quickbooks is.
3027 is an Access error message and yes, this is running on an Access 2000 runtime program... so I'm off to hack the hive some more and let you know what it turned out to be...
Well no wonder this sucker is all over classesroot.... “It is primarily intended for compatibility with the registry in 16-bit Windows.” I love that we get updates on a yearly basis for these line of business applications and they are coded like I'm running Windows 9X. I hope someone tells them there's a new operating system in beta and do plan to code for it in the next century or so....
Update: I had to open up permissions to C:\WinCSI.NET folder on the local drive and to get rid of all the Windows\System32 funky dll errors that would pop up after booting, I had to remove each item from the startup menu with the exception of the ISA 2004 firewall client.
Someone, I'm not sure who, said this process takes ten minutes to figure out what programs need to run in restricted user.... I guess my clock is slow or something as I've yet to figure these suckers out in less than an hour....
One more restricted user/LUAized workstation... more to come...
