Re: Run a .dtf from CLP

["Charles Wilt" <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Remote Command Server runs as a system process.

Thus, it does not have access to mapped network drives.

You can change the user the service runs under, but IIRC you'd still
have to issue a NET USE command in the .bat file prior to actually
trying to use the mapped drive.  (As drives are mapped for a user only
when the user signs on.)

Look in the achieves or goole for ways around this issue.
