I'm looking for solutions on pointing a publishing point
on a mapped drive? Can someone point me in the right
direction. Thanks

Make sure that the WMS service account has read rights to the share and
reference it via it's UNC, rather than the mapped drive letter, when
creating the publishing point.

That should do it for you.

HTH,

I did all that and it made no difference. when I create
the publishing point and try to point to the mapped drive
or the url for that matter, I get a message that the url
is incorrect. What do you mean by referencing it by it's
UNC? Any other suggestions? Thanks

The UNC is \\servername\sharename
I've got mine set up in that fashion and it works fine.

Are you using WMS4 or WMS9...not sure if that would actually make a dif or
not, as I've not got much experience with 4
