using System account

I am running Asp.Net under the System account but I do not have access to the
mapped drives under my user accounts. Do I need to run as a user to access
those mapped drives?

Thanks,

Marc

You mean mapped drive letters? Such mappings are stored in the profile.

You should use UNC paths like \\server\share\

Also make sure to give the machine account the necessary ACLs on the file
share.

Dominick,

How would I give the machine account the necessary ACLs on the file share?

Thanks,

Marc

In an AD environment they have an account name of MACHINENAME$.

In P2P environments machine accounts appear as ANONYMOUS on the remote machine.
In this case you have to use a different account or impersonate an account
that has access to the remote share.
