We are working on a web service that has to run a 3rd party process that interacts with a mapped network drive. So we have to map this drive programmatically from the web service. I have already wrapped up WNetAddConnection2, etc. in a nicer class for another project, so I threw the code right in. Our web service is running under Ulti...
I use the following code to layout network drives on a system. I want to add a third column for persistence but in vb.net I do not know how to check if a drive has a persistent map or not. Any suggestions? For Each drive_info As DriveInfo In DriveInfo.GetDrives() If drive_info.DriveType().ToString = "Network" Then Wi...
I have a bunch of source code checked out from a SVN repository, now living in a folder on a mapped network drive which happens to be a linux machine. We're using this as a build environment as it currently has the numerous libraries needed to build painlessly. What I want to do is use VS2008 on my Windows Xp development box, and create...
I have used SUSBST command to create mapped drive to a certain folder. In a console application I can access the directory, while I cant access the same directory in a windows service application. In other words the following line returns false Directory.Exists(@"x:\directory") where x: is defined using SUBST as follow: SUBST x: c:\x...

Short Version: Can anyone say whether it's possible or not to use impersonation in ASP.NET to access mapped drives? Long Version: I'm currently using impersonation in ASP.NET to gain access to network files. This is working perfectly for any network file using a UNC path, but it is failing to access any files on mapped drives defined fo...
Hi All, I have read in many forums that mapped drives are not accessible from a service as no user is logged on. Question 1) I tried making my service as a log on - as some account and i had my network drive mapped in that very account. The service still cannot access it. Why? Question 2) From the same sevice, i invoke another process...
I know, I know. There are a million threads everywhere talking about problems with mapped drives. I've ready many of them but I still can's seem to wrap my head around this problem or come to a solution. I have a build server/continuous integration server (Win 2003 running CruiseControl.NET) that listens to our source control server. Wh...
Is there any way of programmatically finding out if a mapped drive is currently in use? If I try to unmount the drive with net use, and the drive is being used, it will tell me that the drive is in use and prompt me to take further action. I'd like to be able to unmap drive automatically if it's no longer being used. The system is a Wi...

It is also accessible from my Windows service using a UNC path. However, when I attempt to access this network location using a mapped drive letter from the ...
I have a list of possible paths to use for a default input data directory (X:\Data; Y:\Data; Z:\Data). All of the possible paths are mapped network drives. I can check this using GetDriveType(pathStr) == DRIVE_REMOTE. To determine the best one, I have narrowed down the list by selecting only paths that exist. Sometimes there will be more...
