I created one service which is running in one server and I need to copy directory from another server to directory in this server through this service. The service is failed when finding directory specified in another server. Like If DirectoryExists("\\ServerName\DirectoryName"). It is not working even, I set up the service with Network Authority.
Please give solution for this. It will be helpful.
Mallik.
A possible explanation is that the service runs as a user that does not have read rights to the other server’s volumes. Authenticating with NETWORKSERVICE does not help you. That’s just a user that has access to TCP etc.
What you need to do is to run your service as a user which has read access to the other server’s volumes. As a test try your personal login, but in the longer run you may wish to use a dedicated user just for this task.
