Thanks Joe!   Yeah I agree, that’s why I posted it because I want to see what the group thought about it. BTW: Thanks for joeware.net .. Have used the tools A LOT!   Mike   From: joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 12:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Got a good one for everybody   If I understand your question correctly, my thoughts on this are good luck.   With NT4 you could pull this off, 2K and K3 are tightening down perms and making cross process/security context access of shared resources very difficult if not impossible. Using drive letters was never a recommended practive from anyone I know (including MS) for services.   If I had to guess I would guess that this is a service that is being made into a service with like srvany or firedaemon or something? If that is the case, back it up a bit and have the process try to fire a batch file that sets up the connection and then fires the app. That *might* work.   Mostly this would be a great one to go kick the vendor on and ask them if they are serious about playing in the Windows space.     joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hogenauer Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 2:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Got a good one for everybody I’m looking for a way to have a 3rd party app call a mapped drive on a remote server at anytime without any user account being logged on at the Application server with a persistence drive mapping. The remote server has the file shared out as well.   The Application needs to have a drive letter mapped and not a UNC path. (For example E: instead of \\servername\share)   Thanks in advance   Mike   Mike Hogenauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rendition Networks, Inc. 10735 Willows Rd NE, Suite 150 Redmond, WA 98052 425.636.2115 | Fax: 425.497.1149
