c# service accounts

[shwaguy]

Using c# 2005 Express Edition: I am writing a service that copies files to an AD share and am having a bit of a problem with the .net built in accounts with the windowsinstaller and framework found here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/WindowsService.aspx[^] I was told (by a network admin) that the "localService" account will provide the computers credentials when accessing AD shares, but, the IDE states that I am supposed to be using the "NetworkService" account. The "NetworkService" account fails and .net puts an error in the event log: [code] EventType clr20r3, P1 windowsservice.exe, P2 0.0.0.0, P3 480d4ccb, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 32f8, P8 15a, P9 system.unauthorizedaccess, P10 NIL. [/code] Other than having to run my code in a seperate thread and this account thing I have not come across any unexpected issues; posting code is not going to help with this one (yeah, I am a bit lazy too) I do not have access to an AD at this point and am looking for some general advice from those in the know. Thank you for reading. shwaguy
