False.  There's no reason your service can't be logged in
with
credentials that allow access to the network drive.  It's
just that
"LocalSystem" doesn't have such credentials.

Thanks for the reply Curt,

I had originally suspected that I needed to be in the
"User" account (since
that is where the map was created), however I cannot get the
service to
install under that account (invalid user and/or pass) even
though I am
logged in as an admin, and I provided my user / pass (either
in code, or
during the install process). After flailing awhile, I found
several
different threads that stated that services could not do
this (one even in
the msdn forums ...) and moved on ...

I will research my log in issue and go from there ...

Thanks,

Rob Lee

If you map a drive via the SUBST command, and use that
command as a
scheduled task whose user account is set to SYSTEM, then all
users
(including your service) on the box will see the mapped
drive.
