See the STAF Help forum entry titled "STAF as service cannot access
network" from 2008-02-01 at
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4755080 for more
information. It says:
Applications started as Windows services cannot access mapped drive
letters. See the following Microsoft Windows article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180362
Instead you should use the UNC name to access the remote resource. For
example, if you normally would map the network drive like:
net use X: \\mylocation\testbuilds
the UNC would be \\mylocation\testbuilds
Note though that this won't work if the STAF service was configured (in
Service Properties) with "Log on as:" set to "Local System account". The
"Log on as:" setting must be set to "This account" with the Admin user and
password. The you should be able to access the UNC name via STAF:
C:\>STAF <remote-machine> FS LIST DIRECTORY \\mylocation\testbuilds
Response
--------
test.exe
install.txt
If you did not want to hardcode the UNC name you could set up a STAF
variable for it (e.g. in the STAF.cfg file):
SET SYSTEM VAR XDRIVE=\\mylocation\testbuilds
And then you could use the variable reference:
C:\>STAF <remote-machine> FS LIST DIRECTORY {XDRIVE}
Response
--------
test.exe
install.txt

STAF service and network drive mapping...
Hi All,
I have installed STAF as a service on Windows. It works fine for me, but
the problem is that, I have to map a network drive which should be
accessible to staf service.
Even if I map it manually after logging into the machine, the mapping is
not available to the staf service as staf service is running in a
different user session.
For example, I need to map my X: drive to location
\\mylocation\testbuilds and should be able to list the files in X:
using STAF remotely immediately after I reboot the machine.
Any clues??
Many thanks,
Saneesh Joseph
