UNC Share in Class Path

Question

We are in the process of migrating from CF 6.2 to CF8. In
doing so we are going to a NAS share as to centralize our content
across our 6 cf servers. We have a cfx that needs to write files to
the folder in which it is installed so I need it to be located on
the NAS. However I am unable to get the cfx registered and working
when I try to use the unc path in the jvm.config file. Has anyone
gotten a unc to work, if so how. Any suggestions are
appreciated.

Don't know if this applies to your CFX senario, but to use
UNC paths
with <cfile...> and <cfdirectory> type
functionality you need to make
sure the user that ColdFusion runs under has permissions to
the desired
network resource.
By default a Windows installation of ColdFusion is installed
under the
'localSystem' user which generally has no network privileges.
On Unix
flavors ColdFusion is installed under a SysAdmin defined
user, but will
only have the permissions the SysAdmin allowed for that user.
There maybe more to it then this for custom tags, but that is
the first
thing I would look at.
