I know already that a network drive can run pac as long as it is shown as a removable drive, but I have another question
I am working with a network/systems admin who wants to give each of his users a portion of the file server as a virtual drive. He also wants pac, along with a custom set of apps, installed on each portion by default. Any advice or direction would be welcome.

if you manage to have the network share properly maped as drive, then no problems. go ahead and try. It works fine.

i was hoping more for instructions than just a general statement. Appreciated all the same though
Nothing is as it appears...or is it?
place the apps on that network share, you can copy/paste it no problem, sometimes some extensions might not work, but you simply reinstall them , thats all, no magic or any other method then using any other drive is needed.

As far as setting up the fileshare and installing PortableApps.com Platform & Apps to it your "network/systems admin" probably knows more than I do, as I haven't done much server side where that configuration was used, but if you're asking how to map the network share to a drive letter, ↓↓look down↓↓.
Map the network share to a drive letter
or type out where it is if you know it (e.g. \\ServerName\Path\to\share)
(we had some problems with this happening when I was in High School)
