Mapped drives cannot be used for file names when processes are run from the Server, because the drive is mapped only when the user is logged on to the interactive desktop.
Mapping is removed when the user logs off or disconnects from the share. Thus, a file that is valid when the request is created may be invalid at run time.
To specify network files, use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC), in the following format:
\\servername\sharename
Each file server must specify the User IDs and access rights (read, write, execute, and so on) for each of its shares. The User ID that is sent to these file servers is the User ID used to run the process (i.e., using Server credentials, explicit credentials, or client credentials).
The following restrictions apply.
