Can WS-Agent open file on remote server?

[jocron]

Can a WebSpeed agent running on server A access a file located on server B by using UNC (e.g. \\B\dir\file.txt)?

If I run a normal PROGRESS client session on server A, I can see the file on server B fine, but when the agent runs on server A, it can NOT see the file on server B!! Using SEARCH() or FILE-INFO or even Win32API CreateFile produce the same unsuccessful result.

Any ideas?

Progress support provided the solution for this one:

First shut down WebSpeed.

In the NT services dialog, find the entry for "AdminService for PROGRESS", and stop the service. Click the "Startup..." button and check "This Account" in the "Log On As:" section. Change the account from "LocalSystem" to an account that exists on both servers.

Restart AdminService and the agent will be able to access remote files!
