[newbie] User rights problem

Hi,

I've got the following problem which is (hopefully) trivial to the geeks in
here:

I developed a compact framework application for pocket pc, that needs
regular activesyncs to work properly. Now, I installed ActiveSync on every
computer that could be used for synchronization in my whole department - of
course, with Admin rights.
But, when the normal users (without admin rights) logon, they cannot make
use of activesync (propably due to their lower rights).
How can I solve this and make activesync work properly for everyone that's
logged on?

Thanks a lot,

Pete
 
.... in addition, try to temporary add to *non-admin* user administration
rights and install ActiveSync again. After that revoke administration
rights.

What version of ActiveSync did you install? AFAIK the previous version
(lower than 3.8) have the problems with non-admin mode. The ActiveSync
3.8 is available here:

Thanks for replying!

Unfortunately, I use ActiveSync 3.8. Nethertheless, I installed it as admin,
but no lower user can even see the ActiveSync systray icon - so I assume the
service does not get loaded. Any further ideas?

Greetings,

Peter

Sorry, didn't understand this. Do you think, that I shall add admin rights to
the 'normal' user, install ActiveSync, and exclude the 'normal' again from
admin rights? If so, this is difficult for me, as I have no influence
whatsorever on the network security policy.

Isn't it possible to install an application as an admin, so that every lower
user can use it?

Greetings,

Peter

Yes, this is what I meant. If it is impossible in your case then try to
use Sysinternal's Filemon [1] and Regmon [2] to identify which resources
ActiveSync uses and then grant to them permissions.
