Give the CF service through the services control panal a specific user account that has access to the desired mapped drive ours has it own user account just for this reason. We do this on our network to allow us to use CF templates to read directories on other network resources.

The web application ....needs to access a drive that has to be mapped through the network from ....a different server using its IP address. Now mapping a drive is easy ....enough using say 'net use' or even doing it via the Windows 'Map ....Network drive...' utility. However the account it maps the drive under ....has to be the same as the account CF runs under, obviously. How do I ....ensure that this drive is mapped everytime the server is rebooted so ....that even though CF might start as a service before the drive is ....mapped, it will see the drive as mapped? I can use scheduled tasks to ....automate it, I guess. Sorry if this is a bit confusing. .... ....Thanks, ....George .... .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
