I am using CFdirectory tag and want to use mapped drive in the directory attribute. and ColdFusion is unable to detect the mapped drive.

Coldfusion is running as a System service.
My question is how can i create a mapped drive , so that Coldfusion can detect it.

Thank you

    Starting from Win2003 (or it happened earlier?), drives are mapped per user (info kept in user profiles). Therefore, if you mapped a network path to a logical drive, as, let's say, Administrator, the service running under another account cannot see it. Options:

    1. Run service under specific account.
    2. Use UNC convention: \\server\share\path

    Thank you for your reply. I was thinking about using a mapped drive instead of UNC in CFDIRECTORY tag because using UNC was very slow. was trying out another alternative.

    Anyways, Now I found out was problem with the NETWORK Connection rather than the TAG...
