I'm trying to establish a map to a network drive share on another computer
that is configured on boot, rather than during user login. I want to be sure
to scheduled tasks I set up are able to access the network share as soon as
the system boots.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Much better to use UNC paths instead of mapped drive letters.

The application that starts as a service requires a mapped drive letter. Is
there a method that can used to accomplish this? What is the user name
running the system at boot? Can this user name be used as a login event to
map a network drive?

I'd get in touch with the service developer. Seems a gross error on their
part. 'nt authority' is the system account. This article may also help.
