Seeing the long delay between NT 5.0 beta 1 and beta 2 we expect that some features will be removed in order to ship the final product. Shortcuts created under NT that point to applications run from a network server map the next available drive letter and change the shortcut to agree. How do we fix this besides using the non-tracking mode from shortcut.exe found on the Resource Kit. Also, it appears that customers that want to take advantage of the MSI technology will also have to upgrade all of its Microsoft applications. Microsoft has been eliminating concurrent user licensing from many of its products.
Many vendors still allow concurrent licensing of their product.
Microsoft is now offering their MSI technology and the ability to publish application availability from the Active Directory. The NT event logger will only save data to the local disk. We are not interested in remote viewing of a local log. We desire the support for centralized logging. Or will we have to depned on third party solutions to overcome this design flaw.
