This is OT I suppose, but I would like to see if there are any comments re. this.

For Apache I believe the account used to map the drive must be the same used to create the share at the other end. This is important if you have aliases that point to remote locations.

For iAS forms server, I never managed to make it recognize mapped drive on our NT machines here regardless of which account the NT Forms Server service is configured to run as. In the end I had to use a process launched from a batch file. Even that doesn't work when launched as a job, it has to be launched interactively from the desktop. We are gradually moving to servlets to get rid of the Forms server altogether...

Mapped drives, UNC names, NetBIOS must be an old part of the win32 platform.
