We have a notebook computer that is used to program PLC’s (Programable Logic Controllers)on our production lines.
The machine can be used by different Engineering , Maintenance and Contractor users and on different shifts. The users need access to all of the software on the machine and to be able to install applications and save changes and data to the machine.
Is it possible to configure the machine so all users share a local profile but the profile does get updated when the user logs out? The issue I have is half the applications install under the current users profile instead of All Users. The next user logs on and cannot find the application.
I want to use their network logons so they can back up stored data to the network. (The machine is not connected to the network when they are working on the lines).
I figure I can create an AD Security Group for the authorised users and make that group a member of the local administrators group so they can install software.
NOt sure I have been clear but I am hoping someone has already had to address this situation and has some suggestions
