Server security interview question

[scuzzi200]

Hi All,

This is my first post.

I'm a recent graduate and I came across this question in an interview. It stumped me. Can anyone shine some light on this one for me.

Please see below:

.NET Security Problem on a Win2K3 Terminal Server Environment



Problem description:


When a .NET executable is placed in a share on the file server then run from a number of terminal servers that have access to that share a .Net security exception is received and the application does not run.


When the executable is run from a folder that is local to the terminal server then no .Net Security exception is received and the application runs normally.



Requirement:


Please describe the possible resolutions of this problem and then recommend one of the resolutions for using in this environment.

Please provide a document that includes the following:

Your analysis of the problem

Your interpretation of the requirements

Details of a number of resolutions to this problem with details of where the information was found and with the advantages and disadvantages of each

Details of the recommended resolution and the reason it has been chosen
Instructions of how to implement the chosen resolution




The ideal resolution would easily allow .NET applications to be run from a central share on all the terminal servers and would require minimum effort/configuration to allow a new executable on the share to run on all the terminal servers.


Additional information:

.Net version is 2.0
OS is Windows Server 2003 with a mixture of 32 and 64 bit versions.
All servers are members of the same AD domain
Many thanks,

Five little words typed into Google (.Net security exception network application) reveals this as the second result.
