in reply to [OT] MAPI.Session and NT Service Accounts

Without seeing any code, I will speculate that the NT Service account is logging on as a user that doesn't have the correct rights to your OLE objects. I've run into these types of problems before using the default login user of LocalSystem. For testing purposes, make the default login a different user (or admin for testing) and see if it works.

LocalSystem, cannot access certain resources like network resource by default.

Hope this helps

    thanks, FitTrend

    I may resort to using LocalSystem then calling Win32::AdminMisc::LogonAsUser although I'm not sure it would make a difference - the account has all the appropriate network access and has local admin rights.
