ColdFusion 5
Windows2000 server
We have a server that has a few mapped drives. The mapped drives work like
they are supposed to, however whenever an application that uses ColdFusion
tries to access the share the drive gets unmounted (or has an red x on it).
As soon as a person manaully goes to the machine and clicks on the share it
re-connects no problem.
I orignally thought it was time-out issue where the server would disconnect
the share after a certain amount of time but thats not it. Any thoughts?

Why are you using mapped drives with CF? That's a lot of work, and you have to leave the machine logged in.
Switch everything over to UNC paths (\\servername\sharename) and be done with it.

Im a SysAdmin and not a CF coder. So I would tell the CF programmer to
directly access UNC path in the application code? ..Can you give me a small
example. I just wanted to be able to relay the information coherently when I
speak to the programmer.
