do you mean to say that it's a windows service that's Log On tab is set to local system? because "authenticate using the computer account" isn't a "thing". A windows service running as local system does not have permissions to access network resources at all. This is a windows restriction, you have to have the account log on as a local or domain user if you want it to be able to access the network. > > Is there any way to grant a computer account access to a share?

I don't know if the option still exists in recent versions, my understanding is that it is trivially easy to spoof. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
