Hi Julie, That is correct.. If 2 workstations are connecting to the same GP instance, but under a different ODBC server name, then one of the computer will fail to authenticate to GP, since the Pwd may have been set / reset from a different server name. This happens when some users setup...

Silent installs? I have used variations on these for our last few updates. I have also sleuthed out some command lines for several of the 3rd party plug-ins as well. Not all vendors play well or document the steps, but it is possible. -- David Morinello Senior Dynamics GP Systems Architect...
