We have an agent running from Notes (on a W2k3 server) that accesses another W2k3 server shared volume and clears a folder, then creates docs. Domino service is running as a background service with local system account. Neither machine is logged into the domain. The agent fails with a path not found, access denied error.
This agent ran fine on Windows 2000. Wondering if W2k3 is requiring authenticated credentials for Domino?
Subject: can’t access w2k3 server to run agent
Found the answer to this was to set the service to run as the local admin account on both servers. I’m thinking that LocalSystem account is not part of the file share security, so it wouldn’t allow.

Network drive mapping works just fine in W2k3, as it did in W2k0. If you run Domino as background service, I’m not sure under which credentials it actually runs, probably after some random malfunctioning logic.I run Domino always as Foreground application and never had problems, and starting some batch file like:
net use x: /d
net use x: \123.123.123.123\d$
works just fine, if you have same username and password on both servers.
Of course, also:
net use x: \123.123.123.123\d$ /username:[domainname]username password
will work, if you have different user accounts between servers.
