Installing Windows apps from OSX Server now broken in RTM?

Can somebody with an OSX server verify this?

With the RC2 build (and after), I was able to sucessfully log into my
OSX server and install applications residing on the server (ie,
Firefox.)

With UAC on, I have the following happen after double-clicking on the
installer:

1) "Do you want to run this file?" warning box

2) UAC box allowing me to "continue" the install.

3) A "cannot access network resource" box requiring me to
reauthenticate to my server (supplying the exact same credentials as
before...)


With RC2 (and builds after) -- the install would then proceed.


With RTM -- the "cannot access network resource" box just keeps
reappearing over and over and over...



Which is driving me insane as it was broken pre-RC2, but fixed in that
build and subsequent builds!


Can somebody reproduce this?

It basically kills rollout of Vista (with UAC on at least -- everything
works if I turn UAC *off*) here otherwise!

youre saying youre using the mac server as a fileserver, yes? instead of
running it from the server, can you copy it local and then run it? does it
allow you to copy it?

Yes! It doesn't even prompt me about copying it from the server.


Problem is -- I can't have my users do that with installers (ie,
Labview) that are multiple Gigs in size.


This *was fixed* in earlier seeds.

I can't believe it's broken in RTM...
