Answer 1

Found a way to grant Windows Service access to Network Drive.

Take Windows Server 2012 with NFS Disk for example:

Step 1: Write a Batch File to Mount.

Write a batch file, ex: C:\mount_nfs.bat

echo %time% >> c:\mount_nfs_log.txt
net use Z: \\{your ip}\{netdisk folder}\ >> C:\mount_nfs_log.txt 2>&1

Step 2: Mount Disk as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.

Open "Task Scheduler", create a new task:

1. Run as "SYSTEM", at "System Startup".
2. Create action: Run "C:\mount_nfs.bat".

After these two simple steps, my Windows ActiveMQ Service run under "Local System" priviledge, perform perfectly without login.
