However, due to the nature of Windows security, it is very difficult to correctly permit services access to network resources. It is not sufficient to create a drive map, since that map is specific to the logged in user account, and is inaccessible to the user login used to execute the Webcatalog service.In order to use networked resources from a service under NT/W2K, you have to have:1) a user with rights to the network resources (e.g. a domain user) in addition to the special rights required to run as a service;2) the application must support UNC path notation (since the service will need to directly access the remote resource, i.e. not via a drive map).Most services run as the SYSTEM account, a special local-only, high priviledge account. It is possible under W2K (I think only with Active Domain) to permit the SYSTEM account to have the same rights on remote machines. Typically, though, a domain account would be set up to run the service account, and that account would be given permission to access the remote resources.However, WebCatalog does not support UNC paths (and AFAIK never has), so you will not be able to use networked files until it does. I did try this when setting up our new web server...John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
