[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 987443, member: 17886"] Hi Lehmnden, I assume that you are using the "local file System resource Provider" to Access the Network share, which you previously mapped as a Network drive. In this case, I can confirm your issue, but this is - at least to my understanding - "expected behaviour". The Service is running in a different user context and mapped Network drives are always limited to a specific user context. As a result, the Network drive, which you mapped under your personal user account, does just not exist for the user account under which the Service is running. As soon as you start MP2-server as an application, it runs under the same user account, for which you have mapped the Network drive and, hence, this Network drive is visible again. I don't know under what account the Service runs. Maybe as a preliminary workaraound you could map the Network drive also for the user account under which the Service is running but I'm not sure if this is possible for a Service account. The clean solution to my understanding, however, would be to use the "Network neighbourhood resource Provider" instead of the "local file System resource Provider". However, I just tried it (never did that before because my Shares are always local on the MP2-Server) and it doesn't seem to work for me (neither when run as a Service nor as application). I can't see any other Computer in the neighbourhood although These other Computers are visible in the Windows Network neighbourhood. Will try to investigate this in the next few days and post proper logs in a separate thread. Michael [/QUOTE]
