I have windows service which runs under local system account.
I am checking File.Exist(File in the network). this works fine with windows 7 but when i run this service on windows xp sp3 then it return false for file.exists().
Any help???
Solved..
LocalSystem intentionally does not have NETWORK rights so that services can be run under that account and be “safe” from attacks that would touch the network.
So you did right – change it to some other account – LocalSystem won’t work for a service doing network access.
