mapped-drive

I have read in many forums that mapped drives are not accessible from a service as no user is logged on. Question 1) I tried making my service as a log on - as some account and i had my network drive mapped in that very account. The service still cannot access it. Why? Question 2) From the same sevice, i invoke another process. Under what user account will the process run? Thanks 1) Use UNC paths instead, then you do not need access to mapped drive letters. As to why you cannot access them even when running in the same account, it is hard to say for sure without seeing your actual code. 2) it

Short version : Is it possible or not to use impersonation in ASP.NET to access mapped drives? Long Version: I'm currently using impersonation in ASP.NET to gain access to network files. This is working perfectly for any network file using a UNC path, but it is failing to access any files on mapped drives defined for the user account I'm impersonating. For example, let's say a file lives on the network at \\machine\folder\file.txt , and let's also say that drive S: is mapped to \\machine\folder . We need to be able to access both the full UNC path, \\machine\folder\file.txt , as well as the

I need to map a network drive into a network path using VBScript. The network path is read directly from input. How should I map the network drive and how to check whether the entered network path already exists? I created a subroutine to map drives... MapDrive "H:","\\server\share" Sub MapDrive(letter, uncpath) on error Resume Next dim drivetype, currentmapping dim objWMIService dim colDisks, objDisk 'Set wshnetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _ "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2") Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ (

Using Windows 2008 R2. On our server we get this error: "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again." when trying to map a drive on the command line. However, there are no open Explorer windows to the remote computer, and nothing shows on the remote computer when I do a "net use". Why does windows think something is connected when "net use" reports that there are no drives or folders open to it?? How can I force Win to stop thinking

I need to know, from within Powershell, if the current drive is a mapped drive or not. Unfortunately, Get-PSDrive is not working "as expected": PS:24 H:\temp >get-psdrive h Name Provider Root CurrentLocation ---- -------- ---- --------------- H FileSystem H:\ temp but in MS-Dos "net use" shows that H: is really a mapped network drive: New connections will be remembered. Status Local Remote Network ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK H: \\spma1fp1\JARAVJ$ Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully. What I want to do is to get the
