I've been running on WinNT for almost a year now, happily. I've just upgraded to Win XP and now my scripts launched through cron cannot map drives with 'net use' like they used to (using my own NT id). I've traced the scripts and the only net use error messages output are when trying to unmap the drive: + echo 'Fri Aug 2 07:00:02 2002 Gathering HOTBU FPRD files.' Fri Aug 2 07:00:02 2002 Gathering HOTBU FPRD files. + c:/winnt/system32/net use o: '\\KCMAPP1\e$' password '/user:KCMFTW\dtj011' + ls -l 'o:/hotbackups/fprd1/*.DBF' ls: o:/hotbackups/fprd1/*.DBF: No such file or directory + ls -l 'o:/hotbackups/fprd1/*.ORA' ls: o:/hotbackups/fprd1/*.ORA: No such file or directory + ls -l 'o:/hotbackups/fprd2/*.DBF' ls: o:/hotbackups/fprd2/*.DBF: No such file or directory + c:/winnt/system32/net use /d o: The network connection could not be found. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250. + tee -a c:/temp/work.wrk ++ date + echo 'Fri Aug 2 07:00:02 2002 Done.' Fri Aug 2 07:00:02 2002 Done. I realize the cron is running under SYSTEM account and that's why I have to manually map drives within my cron scripts. Is there any knowledge on the differences with XP and NT which might explain why mapping the drives with my own NT id would not work as they did prior to upgrading to XP? I have the same permissions on the remote server as I always had. Thanks very much. Please copy me on e-mails as I'm not a part of the list.
