Windows 2000 Installation

Installation of the Windows version of the ATLA Religion Database on CD-ROM as a network application under Windows 2000 may require the attention of an experienced systems administrator. ATLA is aware of the following difficulties associated with installing the Windows version of the ATLA RDB on a Windows 2000 network:

1. User Group Policy Settings: Windows 2000 network users may have difficulty accessing the Windows ATLA RDB once it is installed. The difficulty generally exhibits itself as the ability to access the database as a Power or Administrator group user but the inability to access the database as a User or Guest group user. This can be remedied by giving full control permissions to all CD-ROM users in the Windows or WinNT directory on the C drive of the local computer. For more information, please visit the ATLA website, or email support@atla.com.

2. Limited Installation on Windows 2000 Terminal Services network: The Windows ATLA RDB on CD-ROM is configured to run in a traditional client/server (i.e. two-tiered architecture) environment. It should be noted that the Limited Network Installation is not a true Thin Client installation and that some files are installed to the workstation (such as registry and desktop additions). Subsequently, ATLA cannot guarantee the software will work as it was designed to in systems that deviate from the traditional client/server environment (for example, networks that employ thin client architecture like Windows 2000 Terminal Services or Citrix ICA.).
