Backburner Serversvc error: network path not found

[dvmorris]

I am working on setting up backburner in the office, and after reading this post:

 

http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=456140

 

I decided to try to set up server as a service on each computer. Before I was just using the server.exe program and everything worked very well. I am rendering to the computer that has manager.exe running, and I´m using

 

\\paths\like\this\image.tif

 

Anyways, once I set up serversvc, I started getting errors that either viz would open and shut down with an unknown error consistently, or it would return this kind of error:

 

Output path "\\whatever\path" for "\\path\to\image.tif" could not be found

 

I know I´m still connected to the network on each one that gets the error, which is all of them. I have turned off windows firewall, let norton autoprotect allow the server to be contacted from the manager computer, restarted the serversvc, and so on...

 

I ended up for now just going back to using server.exe instead. Ultimately I would like to have the service running in the background so i don´t waste time everyday restarting each one. Any ideas? Thanks for the help,

Services run as user "System". "System" does not have access to anything.

 

Start the service, then go to Control Panel > Services, right-click the backburner service > properties and enter a username/password that will have access to the network shares.
