just a couple of notes/questions...

first, the copy of CAD this customer is using is validated not with a hardware key 
but with a liscence key.  I dont know if that is affecting the way this setup is 
working or not.

second, we are loging into the SBS domain, and the individual machine privleges are 
being set by the user logon into the domain.  (i.e. when Marks account is set to 
be a part of the Administrator group in 2k3, and he logs into the domain, his CAD 
works fine, however if Mark is set as part of the Users group in 2k3 CAD declines 
access into the software) Are there separate places to set the server/workstation 
access policies?  Im fairly new to 2k3, and am a bit unfamiliar with some of the 
finer points... Ive had to learn a lot of this on the fly, so I apreciate any and 
all patience in this matter....
