Yes, the cause is the application was written to target the Win9x OS
consumer base, and most likely NT profile permissions were either foreign or
unknown to the developer(s).
The fix is, if it is a purchased package see if there is an fix to make the
application NT compatible, otherwise you may need to appropriate funds to
purchase the upgraded version of the application. If this ia a home-grown
application, go back to your IT department and have them modify and/or
rewrite the application to be NT compatible (note: this may take months
depending on the complexity of the application), or lastly, you can give the
user "Local Admin" rights to their machine - which differs from "Domain
Admin" rights. If you are worried about installation of software, etc that
is unauthorized, have the employee sign an agreement to such that only
software installed will be what you have pushed through AD, and any
unauthorized installations and/or configuration changes are a "termination"
offense.
