I am not positive, but I believe that the drive just needs to be read/writable 
for the SYSTEM user (or whichever user the service is run as).  So if you map 
that as a drive and it has the proper permissions (which is tricky in windows 
sometimes), I would think it would work.

thanks Geert,

but we were looking for a solution that could be used in production. But that's 
not really a problem, I just wanted to have confirmation that this indeed not 
possible (I might be wrong, but I don't think this is documented). In which 
case we will store the files locally and share the drive.

Ah right, forgot about that. Perhaps not the most beautiful solutions, but here 
are some suggestions on the web. They seem to involve some magic with a tool 
called psexec from sysinternals. Here the most elaborate suggestions I found on 
quick search:

Good luck,

Considered and rejected. I'm told that MarkLogic runs as a network service and 
wouldn't actually see these mapped drives ...
Or is this possible?

cheers,
Jakob.

Hi Jakob,

Considered and tried mapping the UNC to some drive letter first?

Cheers,

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether the file system functions can access UNC paths (on 
Windows systems), or not?

We tried and it doesn't seem to work, but I just wanted to get some "official" 
opinion on it.

Version-wise, it's for the current and upcoming versions, please. :-)

cheers,
Jakob.
