I have a program on a server. I'd on the server's D drive.



When I use "D:\.....setup.exe " as a path n the run command it works.

However when I use the unc as a path such as "\\ServerName....\setup.exe I
get a permission error.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks.

This is really an operating system issue, not a scripting issue, and it
would help stating the OS you use. My guess is that the *share* permissions
on your server are too restrictive. Most people set them to "Full Access"
for everyone.

Thanks.

I'm using win 2003 server and I have everyone, full access for everything in
the path.

Is there anything else that I'm overlooking?

Thanks again.

Forget about scripts - try to access the shared folder from a Command
Prompt. I suspect you will see the same problem. If you do, repost in a
Server newsgroup.
