Local System Permissions

[tshad]

I have a service that needs to delete some files from a folder on another
machine, but I am getting an access problem.

How would I give access to the folder to LocalSystem? When I try to do
that - it says that LocalSystem isn't there.

Thanks,

Tom

You are running the service a a local SYSTEM account. Does that folder have
SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATOR privileges? Also, it's the permissions on the machine you're
manipulating the files on. Has the developer setup code access permissions within the
service itself? That would be the key to resolving your issue

Not sure on the SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATOR issue - but I can delete it as myself
but I have permissions on the folder.

Also, as you say, it a Local SYSTEM account not NETWORKSERVICE account - so
I may have to change it to that.

What would be the Account name for the NETWORKSERVICE account?

Thanks,
