Hi,
Thanks for all the input. I know about service logins being only able
to use UNC paths (not drive letters) to access network shares. I know
the service login & password have to have a matching account on the
server with the shares in order for the tomcat app to use (access)
those shares. We do all of this. Out tomcat app depends on network
shares to function and it always has worked as long as the service
login account matches an account on the server with the shares.
What I'm trying to do in an html interface is make a pulldown menu
list
of my mapped drives as a location for our database backup. It's a
preference setup to where an automated scheduled backup will write
the
backups. I'm using "net use" to produce what you would expect for
output (all the mapped network drives) and parsing the output to
produce the pulldown menu item containing the unc portion gleaned
from
the "net use" output. I need the unc portion as this is what a tomcat
app needs. No matter what I do outside the app I cannot produce the
effectively empty list that the app is producing. I'm logged into
Windows as the same account as the service and I open a command
prompt
and see all my mapped drives via "net use". I have tried UAC on and
off
and it changes nothing. I added a simple "dir" to the app and I can
get
that output but not the "net use"
output. I do know it has to do with the service as I said because
when
tomcat is started via the startup.bat it works great.
Maybe it is a Windows question but thought someone may have had some
similar experience.
Thanks for eveyone's thoughts.

You still have not answered how the mapping are being made in the
first place. Is the
service account dynamically setting the mapping using net use, or
through the Windows
API? Are you relying on static mappings in the user account profile?
Hi Jeffrey,
The drive mapping are happening through the Windows Explorer
interface. The file server is browsed
and the shares on the file server are mapped by right-clicking the
share, mapping it to a drive letter
and I check the checkbox "Reconnect at logon". Then I start my app.
(I'm not using any user profiles.)
