Hi to all,
is there a way to access a mapped network drive from
a Windows Service application ?
I created a very simple one, using a timer that checks for a file existance
on G:\Emails
(a Novell server mapped drive)
I created the Service with "LocalSyste m" for the ServiceProcess. Account
and it cannot find the G:\ drive.
I try to declare it to run under the Administrator account but when it tries
to install (installutil) it asks for the credentials and it then fails,
even if the UserName/Password stuff is correct...
Does anyone has a solution to this ?
Thanks a lot for any help

Since it's a mapped drive, that drive does not exists for the account you
used. I would suggest instead of using G:\, to use an UNC Path, for example
\\myserver\mysh are\

Hey Jan,
many thanks for the quick reply!
I also tested that, in fact if i use the command
Console.WriteLi ne(File.Exists( @"\\med\vol1\em ails\a.txt").To String());
in a Console Application, it gives me true,
but if i give that in the Windoew Service, in form of
EventLog.WriteE ntry(File.Exist s(@"\\med\vol1\ emails\a.txt"). ToString()));
it gives me false...
Does another idea come to your mind ?
Thanks again!

Mapped drive is mapped for some specific user, while service is running in
another context and is not aware of this mapping.
There is a privilege called "Log on as a service". The user account you
specify for service should have this privilege. Use secpol.msc to grant it.
Also consider specifying URN path, like \\someserver\So meShare\Email instead
of G:\Emails.
You might also experience problems accessing shares with
yourcomputer\Lo calSystem principal...

Hey Max,
thanks for the reply.
Ok, i see the problem.
I state in ServiceProjectI nstaller that i want to run under the "User"
property value.
I also use the secpol.msc to tell thet a user account (the same that i log
in to my system)
will have the "Log on as a service" priviledge.
Bu when i run the installutil and give it the credentials for that account,
i got back a "The account name is invalid or the password for this account
is invalid .."
message, even if they DO exist and they are correctly given to it...
A, as i told toy Jan (that already posted a reply to me),
the command
EventLog.WriteE ntry(File.Exist s(@"\\med\vol1\ emails\a.txt"). ToString()));
that i run from the Windows Service, gives me false...
Another thing to check ?
Thanks a lot !

I am trying to develop a Windows service in VB.NET which has timer

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
