Windows service connect to NAS ?

Alternatively can't you just mount it via an admin console persistently? Shouldn't that carry over to other users?

How does the service map the drive?
It's been a little while since I tried this in the past, but I recall creating a dedicated account for the service, logging in locally to the server as that user, mapping the drive, then logging out, logging in as myself and trying it, and it didn't work.

If we resolve this, we should provide feedback here too....

If you mean a services needs to access the shares you need to change it from the default "system" account in services.msc to change the logon to an account that has permission.

See my edit above, Microsoft says that the way that I said to do it should work.

net use /p:yes net use r: \\servername\sharenameEdit: Found this as the official response from a Microsoft engineer too, after I had posted this...
Thanks I'll give that a try.

Nevermind, I posted the answer there and two moderators nuked the answer within minutes. Apparently answering old threads is not allowed now, which seems bizarre, that they want to keep the threads around as an archive but don't want updated information or just answers at all to appear on them.
So, I guess, the only method of assisting those people now is to answer here and PM them a link since you can't tell them the answer in SW.
No idea what the moderation planning is behind that, but as it was multiple senior mods in minutes, it must be a policy that people want over there. Up to them, no skin off my back. But it means that the Google search value of threads there will plummet since things can't get updated. There has always been a strange hatred of helping people after a certain number of months has passed over there, when I used to be a mod I noticed that after three weeks people considered a thread a waste and would never respond to it. Must be a cultural thing.

Moderation there makes no sense now. Heck you can't even comment much on SAN topics without it being deleted. I think it hurts their ad revenue. I deleted my account there not worth the time when they just moderate crazy. Odd thing is incorrect/stupid answers never get nuked.

I don't go there any more to help answer questions - only to ask them.
The larger number of people just gets that many more eyes on my issue - so I post it in both places.
-
I would except I've only really had one question answered well there aside from me researching it more and figuring it out myself. And that one was from Scott and Rob Dunn back when I was replacing and fixing the corrupt Domain at the county.

I sent a note to the powers that be and got a nice response. Post has been unmoderated and I'm not crazy after all

Was someone just 'piss'n' on you?

It was multiple people, and people that I would not expect that from, so I think it was a misunderstanding of moderation rules or goals. They both picked the same reason too, so it wasn't like they weren't thinking the same thing.

I think pruning down the number of moderators, especially volunteer ones would help.
