Connecting to Document Library from 2003 server |
|
|
We need to be able to add and remove documents and make directories in the
document library from a simple copy script.
We can do this from Windows XP as you can map and drive to the UNC path
\\server\sites\home . However, for some reason this does not work from a
Windows 2003 (or Windows 2000) server. You can add a Network Place to
point to an http path e.g http://server/sites/home , however, this cannot
be referenced from a script as it has no drive letter and you cannot use
the copy command to an http path.
We need to be be able to do this from Windows 2003 server. Does anyone
know why it behaves differently to Windows XP, or if there is another way
to copy files via a command script from Windows 2003 without using Network
Places in Explorer?

If I am not mistaken you need Office 2003 to be able to use the UNC path.

Try the following
Make sure the web client service on the Windows 2003 server is enabled and
started. If the URL has spaces, place quotes around it and remove %20 with
spaces, e.g.,
net use * http://server/shared documents.

Thanks Marco,
We tried installing Office 2003 on the Windows 2003 server, but no luck
(connecting with the UNC path works fine on XP with Office 2003).
I checked that Windows Sharepoint Services Support was installed with
Office.

Thanks Penelope, that worked a treat. The service was disabled by default on
Windows 2003 (and dosn't appear in Windows 2000).
I couldn't find this anywhere documentented by MS though!
Cheers
