First off in case anyone tried to do something similar setting it up to run as a windows account which has access to the NAS was already done, but I missed the step where it had to have log on as a service modified. 1. Create a normal domain user account, and be sure to memorize its password. **2. Grant the newly-created user a privilege of Log on as a service and Act as part of the operating system. You can also manually set these via the Local Security Policy MMC snap-in. ** 3. Confirm that the created account is a member of the Users group. Grant the account read and execute (RX) rights to all document and script folders (htdocs and cgi-bin for example). 4. Grant the account change (RWXD) rights to the Apache logs directory. 5. Grant the account read and execute (RX) rights to the httpd.exe binary executable Additionally I did not know until now that the service control manager would not mount the drive even though it shows in the OS as already being mounted. Good to know. And yes, //<NAS name>/share/test/ did work perfectly!! Thanks again to both of you.
