I am having a small issue with running executables from our DFS Share... I log onto the client device - browse out to the share and attempt to run the executable. It gives me an error that *Path* The directory name is invalid. I am not allowed to run as admin or normal credentials. I can copy the exe to the desktop and it runs just fine - installs perfect! I have logged into each DFS server and "unblocked" the executables through the properties... reassured that I can install it from this path on other machines... working just fine! Can anyone throw me some ideas??? I have also reassured that DNS is configured and properties are set correctly! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
