How to connect a drive letter with a share for Windows?

• You can mount a drive when starting JobScheduler using net.exe.
• This requires that the JobScheduler starts with administrator privileges.
• Therefore it is required that the JobScheduler service is assigned an administrator account.

Assign the JobScheduler service an administrator account

• After the installation the JobScheduler service is assigned the local system account.
• The name of the JobScheduler service is sos_scheduler_[schedulerId].
• We assume in the following that the JobScheduler has the Id scheduler.
• You can use the sc.exe to change the JobScheduler service account.

 sc config sos_scheduler_scheduler obj= domain\domain-admin password= admin-password

• The user domain\domain-admin must have the "log on as a service" permission. Otherwise you will receive the error 1069.
• To add the permission for log in as a service to an account see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-en/library/cc739424.

Configure the JobScheduler

Please add some lines of code to the script function in the file config/scheduler.xml.
The JobScheduler without administrator privileges doesn't start after you added these lines.

The more complete xml structure of scheduler.xml looks like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
 <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="scheduler_documentation.xsl"	?>
 <config mail_xslt_stylesheet="config/scheduler_mail.xsl"
        tcp_port="4139">
    
    <security ignore_unknown_hosts="yes">
        <allowed_host host="localhost"   level="all"/>
    </security>
    <process_classes>
        <process_class max_processes="30"/>
        <process_class max_processes="10" name="single"/>
    </process_classes>
    <script language="VBScript">

 				Set ws = Nothing
 			End Sub
