DriveGetType doesn t work with SYSTEM account ?

[sylvanie]

Hello, I have already searched in old post, but I haven't found any explanations about it :

when a script with :

$type_drive=DriveGetType("\\some_LAN_machine\folder")

is launched with the account SYSTEM, then $type_drive="" and @error=1

With a "classic" account, it works fine.

The stranger observation is that it works fine with the SYSTEM account and the version 3.1.0.

I haven't noticed some change with DriveGetType since the release 3.1.0.

Somebody can explain me where is the problem ?

Thank you

The SYSTEM account has limited access to the network - it can only connect using a null session (with no credentials). Thus, it cannot access the share you are describing.

Ok,

but if it was the reason of the error, then I don't understand why the compiled script ( with autoit 3.1.0) works fine with this account ?
