Re: Cannot find mapped drive



Amie,

as per previous post from Mike, the mapped drive is for the logged on user /
session only, and not for services.

that is what it is,

UNC is your solution

when I use the UNC name it works properly and creates and deletes the
file but,
I can't use UNC name as it requires the server name and and if in
future the server name changes I have to change my .ini file for all
the services which i don't want.In my .ini file i give the mapped drive
path(it doesnot need the server name so if at all the server changes
only thing i have to do is map to the new server)
Can u tell me why if the mapping facility is provided by Microsoft and
through the explorer
window I can access the file,the programme(service) cannot find the
mapped path.

reconfigure your service to use a full UNC path, e.g.
\\servername\sharename

Hi,

I have been using a my services on windows 2000 server which uses a
mapped drive
for creation and deletion of files.Now i have shifted the service to
windows 2003 but the services doesn't start saying Mapped drive not
found.I don't use UCN format(eg://servername/mappedfolder) I am using
a
mapped drive name(H:\mappedolder).
the service using the mapped drive and the mapped folder both are on
windows 2003 server(needn't to say on diff computer).
I have given full control to the mapped folder.
There is no fire wall or antivirus on the server.
Can any one give solution to this?
