RE: [Wrapper-user] Question about W2k and network drives

Have you tried refering to the "drive" as a URI rather than a dos drive?

Subject: [Wrapper-user] Question about W2k and network drives


I am using the Wrapper at one of my customer sites and have run into a
problem when the system is rebooted.

The Java application makes use of resources stored on a network drive
mapped to drive K: To accomplish this, a user account was created which
has the drive mapped and configured to reestablish the mapping
automatically.

If I reboot the machine and log in as that user, the drive is mapped
correctly without having to enter any passwords or anything.

The problem is that if I install a service using that user and then reboot
the machine, the application fails on startup because drive K is not found.
Even if I place a long delay in the startup, the drive will never be mapped.

If I logon to the machine, as another user which does not have the drive
mapped and request that the service be restarted, it will still fail to map
the drive.

If however, I logon as a user which has that drive mapped, even if it is a
different user, and then restart the service, everything will work
correctly.

For some reason, this machine is not actually mapping its network drives
unless an actual user logs into the system and connects to the drive.
Obviously this is not very good for automatic recovery...

Anyone have any ideas what would be causing this? It is a windows 2000
pro system.

Thanks,
Leif
