The setup program will be run on each pc. There will be a profile for each site. The setup process will allow the user to choose a printer from the machine and map to a network printer. The same for the map drives. the same for Outlook and Outlook Express.
When the user changes site. All the map drives and printers currently on the machine will be deleted and the new one processed.
When the USer GUI is displayed, it will show the current config. The user will select a new site or minimise the softeware to the systray. Some configs will only require change to map drives and printers. The ip settings will not be changed.
The software needs to look GOOD and be easy for the user to use. The setup program and user GUI will be run seperately. Any passwords stored for mapping of drives will be encrypted. A small encrypt / decrypt program will be supplied to allow IT staff to setup / test configs manually. The ini file the setting are stored in should be able to be edited manually by IT staff. Example screens are attached.
