All,
We're setting up our Windows 7 image and are looking to standardize our Oracle
client (where we can i.e. no conflict with a COTS app). There's push back from
some DBA's to install the client binaries to a network drive with just the
registry entries and environment variables stored locally on each desktop.
One roadblock to that plan is the Oracle Installer won't install to a network
drive at all. This is forcing the desktop team to run an install using regmon
and filemon to see what has changed in order to replicate those changes to a
network drive location.
Are there any other companies which use this pattern? To much success or
failure? I'm particularly interested in largish firms of 5000+ employees, but
everyone's experience will be valued.
P.S. If you do a local install, have you made it part of the base package or is
it distributed as a package?
TIA,
Cheers!
