Apps From Network Drive Problem

Firstly Im writing not as a programmer, but a a network admin.

We are having a problem where students cannot run applications in
VB.net from their home area (a network drive). However the same app
works fine from a local drive or pen drive.

Does anyone know of any active directory restrictions which might be
causing this, or a group policy way of fixing it?

Thanks for your help.

We are running an AD 2003 Server network (all SP2)
Visual Studio 2005
Students DO NOT have local admin, and obviously I dont want to give
them local admin rights.

David Hamer.

I have personnally never used them but I understand that policy in these
matters is contorlled from

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\mscorcfg.msc for dotnet 1.1

and

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\mscorcfg.msc" for
DotNet 2.0

I hope this helps
 
As Rory mentioned this are .net application access related issue. You will
have to configure each clients framework to allow execution from network
drive.

on a given client PC you can find the configuration at
Control Panel >> Admininstrative Tools >> Microsoft .Net Framework XX
Configuration.

XX is not present if framework installed is 1.0 otherwise it will be 1.1 or
2.0 or 3.0

You might want to look at ways to propogate it throw group policy but i have
very little knowledge of that
 
Addition to the other replies:

The .NET configuration applet is only available for .NET 1.x. For .NET2.0,
you need to use command line tool CASPOL.exe (on which the applet is built),
unless you installed .NET 2.0 SDK on the computer.

The problem I have is that I already have around 1,000 workstations
with .net framework installed. It isnt really viable to visit each
one of these and do a local admin task, and I really cant give the
users local admin access.

Is there a group policy or other rmeote method of doing this?

As others have said, you'll need to vary the policy. The below article
may give you some ideas on how to make this happen across your
network.
