Allowing services to access network resources on Win 2003 Server

Hi everyone,

I have an application running as a service under an Administrator user
account which needs to access resources in a network share. The Admin user
account has permission to access the share.

When running under Windows XP the application has no problem accessing files
on the network share, however when I move the application across to Windows
2003 Server it cannot access files on the share.

I've tries looking at options in the Local Security Policy (the server is
not part of a domain) but couldn't see anything relevant. Can anyone tell me
what is going on?

Thanks very much,
Steve

Sorry please ignore - solved. The user account the service was wunning under
didn't have permission for the network share.
