Re: SVM Admin Access

From what I hear from my students, most of the time they solve this problem
by telling the admins to use the MMC.

Would that solve your problem?
They can create shares in existing volumes there... If necessary the
volumes could auto-grow... And it's a familiar interface and you could give
them access easily with their domain accounts and the predefined role
vsadmin-protocol (or vsadmin-volume).

Just saying...
