Enabling Clients to Access the Offline Area
The Vector AM Client uses the offline area to transfer data to and from Consoles. Data from the Clients PCs can then be saved to a Site database from the Consoles.
When you create a Site database using the Site Creation Wizard, the wizard automatically creates a share for the offline area. It also adds access control settings for the offline area to the Client Kit, using the account details specified in the Offline Area and Client Kit dialog. This enables you to install the Client on your network PCs without the need to customize it.
In addition, because Windows 95, 98 and Me are unable to connect to a share with user credentials that are different from the user who is currently logged on, the Site Creation Wizard generates the offline area share with Everyone access.
