Damn character limit...

domain admins complete successfully (as expected,) but our regular users fail because they still don't have access to the files (by design.)

The only two methods I can think of to solve this are: (1) Set up an SMS Installer program that we can push down to the clients that just copies the files from the archive, or (2) place the files on a share point with the permissions Everyone/Full Control. 1 seems like a lot of work, and 2 is a security no-no for our organization.

Does anyone have this same problem and a solution?

We are involved in the SP2 dilemma but on a much, much smaller scale. However, I think your solution #1 is workable and in your environment, probably the preferable approach.

But in regards to #2, does the share point really have to be full control or could it be read-only and would that make any difference to your security policy?

regards!

Thanks; it ended up being #2. The error was in the batch file I wrote...it was mapping the C$ share on the workstations as a *regular user*! No wonder it didn't work. I didn't change the file when I changed the context in which the package runs fromadmin to logged-in-user.
