We run a Win 2000 network with active directory, plus PeopleSoft. The problem is with Windows XP workstations that run PeopleSoft some reports come back with a C:\temp\spr.log error no such directory found or something to that effect. We run SQL7 client. It acts like there is no C:\temp directory, the user is administrator of the local computer, so there cannot be a permissions issue. We have tried the suggestions on the PeopleSoft support sight. We have tried to configure the Envrionment Variables, there was an entry in the registry that PeopleSoft wanted us to delete. But still no fix.
I need a PeopleSoft Guru to figure this one out!

Any suggestions?
This is a challenge!

PeopleSoft has always been slow to adapt to new operating systems.
Try running in compatibility mode.

Does c:\temp exist? or only c:\windows\temp?
Another environment variable thing to try would be to edit the autoexec.bat and add the line:
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
That would tell the software where the temp directory should be.
Other than that make sure the C:\TEMP directory is out there.

Create C:\TEMP directory. Then set sharing permissions on that folder to EVERYONE-FULL CONTROL.

i try it, the permissions in ad are higher than at the local account, is the tmp-dir free for erveryone? runs the xp-firewall? some av-sw?

didn't understand the answer on this one....but the user has the full permissions on the c:\temp folder.
