Accessing NAS from task scheduler to run under SYSTEM
I'm trying determine if a (non-Microsoft) product creates a security exposure. In order to do this I need to run a task under "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM". My first step was to create a task that accesses a public share on NAS and schedule it to run under SYSTEM. (I'm not really interested in access to the public share, but I needed to make sure the task works before worrying about network credentials.) My test is to perform an RCOPY of a directory from the public share to a local drive. The RCOPY uses the UNC rather than a drive letter.
I get "ERROR 58 (0x0000003A) Accessing Source Directory \\<server name>\Public\Test\Data\
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation."
If I run the task under my own id I have no problem so I know it's not the server's fault. I am not using "Run with highest authority" under either id (if that matters).
Any idea why access to a public share would fail?
