We're running about 600 PCs like that.
The oracle client is installed on a mapped network drive and the logon
script applies the needed registry keys and environment variables.
BTW, I had no trouble installing oracle 10g client on a mapped network
drive (oracle 10.2.0.1 + 10.2.0.4 patchset on windows XP).

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!
