Re: Mapping An iSeries IFS Folder to an Windows 2003 Server with Clustering

Sounds like a security issue on the cluster server. 

If the program on the Windows Server runs as a Windows Service, make sure 
that you set the correct Windows User ID/Password for the service and ONLY 
use UNC paths because Windows services cannot see mapped drive letters. 

You also need to make sure that the Windows User ID/Password match exactly 
with a corresponding iSeries User/Password unless you have set up a guest 
share on the iSeries.

I know this is a long shot but what the hey.

I have written a C# program to pull files from the IFS and process them on 
a
Windows Server. This Server is clustered using Microsoft Cluster 5.2. If I
run the program in a DOS prompt it works great. But if I let the program
that is in the cluster run my program it cannot see the mapped drive. I 
have
even tried using the UNC to access it but no luck. I was wondering if 
anyone
has done anything like this.

Thanks
