Probably the answer will be NO, but just thought I'd ask anyway...
On NT servers we backup using a service which mirrors the files to a share.
Issue is that Microsoft have now implemented a change in the way
drive-mappings work, such that a drive mapping or UNC share is now ONLY
accessible inside the the user-session which created it. This make it
impossible to backup to a network share UNLESS the backup-program itself runs
on the desktop instead of as a service.
Running the service under the same credentials as the desktop session
doesn't seem to work, either, it's as if that just creates two 'clone' users
with independent settings instead of running the service in the same session.
Is there any way of restoring the previous behavior, which IMHO is the
'right' behaviour, whereas the new arrangement creates all kinds of problems,
especially for services which need to access the LAN.
The only other solution is to take the password-security off the share - and
that is really a ludicrous situation to be in, having to ditch security for
the sake of this ill-advised change.
