[THIN] Re: ODBC

A System DSN goes in the HKLM registry structure
A User DSN goes in the HKCU registry hive
A File DSN is created on the file system.

On one server, the users obviously have escalated permissions within the
HKLM structure, or on the box itself.

There is no functional difference between a System and User DSN. One is
system wide whilst the other is sepcific to the current user. So unless the
app has been specifically hard coded to look into the HKLM registry key,
you will find that a User DSN will work. In fact, if you use regmon, you'll
see that it will look in the HKCU hive first anyway.

Cheers.

Here is a crazy one:  I have two CTX servers (win2k3 sp1 with ps4.0).  a
user can create a system dsn (oracle driver) on one server but not on
another.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why?
What permissions are needed for anyone to create a SYSTEM dsn.  Yes, he can
create a user dsn without a problem.

Thank you,
