Re: Install mapped drive as a service?

If you do not have a user logged on, what access rights
should apply? Your question is equivalent to asking "How
do we open the bank's safe automatically in the morning
without an authorised person being present?" You don't!

Well, the issue arose as a result of NFS (Network File Sharing) to a Unix
system. A DTS package taht's to run on the Windows system needs to see a
remote directory on the Unix system but simply typing "dir \\(unix
system)\directory" responds with 'Unknown username or bad password'.
However,
once the command "net use z: \\(unix system)\directory" is given, it
cmplets
successfully (obviously using the logged on users account) and THEN, the
"dir..." command works and displays the directory contents on the Unix
system.

So, my thinking led me to installing the 'net use' command as service to
avoid having to have a user logged on to the Windows system.

Hello,

mapped drive are user based...how to get it if you are not the user who
logs
on ?

I guess it's for a software installed on it ?
Can't it uses UNC path ?

Does anyone know if this is relatively easy to accomplish?

I'm trying to figure out if I can install a service on Windows 2003
that
will execute a net use command? So, this will allow a network drive to
be
mapped without requiring a user to logon.

Thanks!
