Can you give some more information on how you write to network drives in this
app? What you are describing should not have anything to do with UAC. UAC
being enabled on a client would not impact the token you have on a server.
However, if the server is running Vista with UAC enabled, and you are
connecting to it as an administrator the presence of UAC on the server could
have an impact.
What does the code look like that performs this writing? It sounds to me
like this is related to something else in the code, not UAC.
