Hello,

I am having to small Applications, a server and a client application.

They are communicating using MSMQ Queues.

Both are working with files, the server uses a filewatcher to find files,
sending the complete filename to the client which does a conversion to a new format.

Both are in the same network but not domain. they can ping each other with the ip.

The Problem:

Now I have to make a windows service of each application.
Communication with MSQM is still working well, but now the network access is not working anymore, neither with ip or a network-mapped drive.
It is a local service at the moment, and it uses private queues.

Any idea? Can I get a local service running with network file access somehow?
It was working as application, since it is a service it does not...

Thanks a lot,
Eric

Run your service as a user (change from local service user) that has access to the private queues you need.

Hello Mehdi,

I changed the service to a local user.
I didn't have access to the queue, changed the queues owner and the permissions now it works with the queue.

But when I try to access my mapped network-drive it says it does not find it, and when I use \\computer\directory it says wrong user or password.

I can open the target computer with windows explorer that works fine and does not ask for a username or password...

Any idea? Thanks a lot!

Windows requires you to connect to the computer first before connecting to the directory.
Also add the service username to the destination computer share access list with full permissions.
