    The default configuration for ColdFusion on a Windows server is to run
    as a service under the 'localsystem' account. This account, by default,
    has *NO* permissions to any network resources.

    Your choices are:

    To modify the permissions of the localsystem account, but this is not a
    good idea.

    OR

    You could run the ColdFusion service under an existing account that has
    the required permission, still not a great idea, but ok for testing
    purposes.

    OR

    The best practice is to create a domain account specifically for the
    ColdFusion service and give it exactly what permissions your ColdFusion
    applications need and then set the ColdFusion service to run under this
    account in the Windows Services Panel.

    This is done by accessing the properties of the ColdFusion service(s) in
    the Windows Services panel and chaning the 'Log On' tab to run a
    specific account instead of the default 'Local System account'.
