It doesn't have to be that hard. A domain admin can mount any drive on the network. subinacle.exe may be used to set permissions from the command line. It is available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en eg: net use z: /delete net use z: \\some_desktop\c$ subinacl /file "Z:\ORACLE" /grant=everyone=r Or something like that.
