Hi everyone,

My company is evaluating WinInstall 7.5 for deployment of software to
desktop PCs.

Apparently the WinInstall documentation recommends using an account with
Domain Admins group membership for software distribution. Using the Domain
Admins group for this purpose is not desirable in our environment for
several reasons. I have heard that it is possible get around this
requirement by assigning the appropriate rights and permissions to a
specific AD user account or global group. Apparently Veritas does not
officially support this scenario, but their technical support person said it
can be done.

Here is my question: Has anyone out there attempted the above procedure? If
so, were you successful?

Thanks, and have a nice holiday weekend!

Andy
