Re: [Wrapper-user] Accessing Network Resource Woes!!

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Roland,
    From what you said, it sounds like you have already tried everything 
I know to suggest
but here is a checklist.

1) Windows is funny about the way mapped drives work.  The user needs to 
be logged on
as an active desktop at the time the service starts or the drive will 
not be visible.  This
always seemed like a Windows bug to me.   Anyways.  Always use UNC paths 
when
running as a service.

2) The account that you are running the service as needs to have 
permission to access the
network resources.   Try logging on as that user and make sure the 
Wrapper can be
run as a console app as that user.

3) Be aware that network drives will not be available when running as 
the SYSTEM
account.  It sounds like you are using an account correctly though.

4) When the service is running, verify that it is running as the correct 
user using the task
manager.  You might actually be using the SYSTEM account if you spelled the
wrapper.ntservice.account property incorrectly.

4) ??  Try posting back.

Cheers,
Leif
