Seriously, what the heck, #Microsoft #Windows? First you tell me you can't access the drive letter, and then when I map it you tell me it's there already? You suck at #accessPrivileges.

Final solution: unmap the drive letter, and then in the #MSDosBatch script first map it, then unmap it when done.

Holy moly, Gates et al, did you have to make your system contradict itself? - 4/4

#TodayILearned: #Microsoft #Windows is terrible at #accessPrivileges.

I've got a #ScheduledTask that runs as a network user. I've done this a million times and I know how to get Windows to accept it.

This time, I need that task to run a #DosBatch script. It runs statements invoking #java and #DOS commands.

One of those is #MOVE. It only works on local disks, including mapped drive letters. It does not speak #UNC.

So I map a drive. I assign privileges to that network user - 1/4
