Hi,
A small WORKGROUP has two Windows Server 2003 servers - server A & server
B.
I have installed an application on server A and by default it runs under
the account "Network Service".
This application writes files to a local directory without problems but
when I map a folder from server A to server B and use that mapped network
folder, it fails.
Note that on server B I have also granted full control permission to
account "Network Service".
What needs to be done to allow "Network Service" account to write to a
network shared folder?
thanks,
Speech Lover
What you report is expected behavior.
The short answer to "what needs to be done" is form or
join a domain.
Network Service goes off box as the domain\computername$ account,
so the remote share needs to grant to that account, but that is in a domain,
which you are without.
Outside of an account there is no shared set of accounts.
Each machine knows only of its accounts and trusts no other
machine to authenticate accounts. So, the access has to be
by use of an account that the accessed machine knows and
can autheticate (or by use of Guest or anonymous access).
