This is the batch job tha runs at startup - I can access all these drives with no problem, so ca VVPro

echo Y|net use * /DELETE /Y
net use x: \\Ravenshome\Movies ******** /user:mark /persistent:yes
net use w: \\Ravenshome\Keep2 ******** /user:mark /persistent:yes
net use v: "\\Ravenshome\Virtual Machines" ******** /user:mark /persistent:yes
net use U: \\Ravenshome\Photography ******** /user:mark /persistent:yes

OK, thanks.

The problem occurs because of the way administrator accounts work since Windows Vista / Windows 7 or newer. When you logon with an administrator account the account gets two tokens, a standard user token and an administrator token. When you originally mapped the drive the standard user token was used. When VVEngine runs it runs as "elevated" with full admin rights.

Try this:
a) use UNC paths instead of mapped drives in the ViceVersa profile.
b) remap the drives you need in a script that runs before execution

Please post the output.

thanks

Sure I wil try ths again - though I have used UNC paths before, with no different result. But waht do you mean about remapping them before running?

I just re-ran the script I use at boot and it seems to work! I will try a few more before I am convinced though. Why do I need to remap the disks each time?

Are you re-running the boot mapping script before execution in ViceVersa? It should also work if you use UNC paths in the profile.

I used UNC paths on some of the profles from the start but they didn't work. The thing that seems to have made a difference is remapping the drives, I just don't know why it works!

Hi, the reason it needs re-mapping of the drives is because you are using mapped drives in the ViceVersa profile and those mapped drives are not accessible under the VVEngine service , even if the service runs under the same admin account. Reason is that you logon with an administrator account the account gets two tokens, a standard user token (default) and an administrator token. When you originally mapped the drive with your boot script the standard user token was used. When VVEngine runs it runs as "elevated" with full admin rights.

Another test you can try to verify this. After you rebooted the PC and your boot script runs, open a command prompt by right clicking on the command prompt icon and from the menu select "run as administrator".... once the command prompt has opened, type "net use" ... you will see that all the mapped drives are not available.
