I'm running TortoiseSVN on a Win2003 server, though the max number of
simultaneous users on this system has only been 1 local and 2 remote.
All the users have had admin rights and things have worked fine.
Without the admin rights, access to the TSVNCache.exe process can be
limited I believe, resulting in no icon overlays. Only problem I've
had was with the memory leaks in TSVNCache that were fixed with 1.3.2.
Really sounds like a poor solution though, NT 4.0 has been out of
support for quite some time.

should really consider using an OS that still gets security updates
etc.
