Question

Cfdirectory server path stopped working

After an Upgrade from CF6.1 Standard to CF8 Standard on a Windows 2003 Server, a path in cfdirectory from my web server to my email server that I used to grab my SmarterMail addresses and send out a buck email no longer works. It was something like this:

<cfdirectory action="list" directory="\\EmailServer\d$\SmarterMail\Domains" name="getDomains" sort="name">

What changes were made and what do I need to do to make it work again? Please, "Steps for Dummies."

Thank you in advance for your help?

    Most likely the new CF8 windows service in the 'Services' panel is
    running under the default 'localsystem' user and thus has no permissions
    to access remote servers such a '\\EmailServer'.

    To fix this you would need to define the CF8 application service to run
    under the same domain account that your CF6.1 was configured to run
    under so that it has the desired network access.
