Apparently the new security model of Windows 2003 doesn't allow Services to
access mapped network drives. I'm now forced to create ColdFusion
application scoped variables that reference UNC paths which is a pain. I
wish the ColdFusion mappings worked with all types of directory access and
not just includes and cfmodule. :-\
Thanks,
Jon

You can easily configure a service to run as any user you like. As for drive
mappings, I usually just use UNC paths instead, but you can log in as the
user in question, create persistent drive mappings, then run CF as that user
and they should work fine.
