Phani -
Can ADT be loaded on Solaris?? No. Nothing but win32 is supported for any flavor of
autocad (as far as I know).
Can the Data be stored on a Solaris server?? Yes, probably, but if you have problems that
can't be reproduced on a win32 server you are basically "unsupported". I've never actually
tried this, but it should work. I've seen a number of people that have file locking
problems with non win32 based servers.
Can ADT be loaded on a server and accessed from a machine that doesn't have it installed??
Well, kinda. You can locate the exe's on a server, but you still have to run an install
on any client that needs to run autocad. Some of the files are placed on the client
machine but most are kept on the server. It is not possible to just create a shortcut to
the acad.exe like was in R12. See
http://support.autodesk.com/knowledgebase/html/147748.htm for some information (this tech
doc is based on R14, and although there are some major differences in licensing
procedures, the overall installation procedure is similar) on the network deployment.
