Is the default account for the chef-client service to use the "system" service account? switching to "network" service as you say here should work quite well in that case.

You may also use Network_service account which is able to establish cifs shares from a service.

the net use command is creating a stored credential, which would normally only work when applied to a logon session.
 
That's an excellent idea! Our googling hadn't turned that one up :)
 
another option would be to run the service as a real user instead of one of the service accounts, though i don't remember the steps to make that happen :)
 
Yeah, that's one of options we were considering…
 
 
It still feels pretty odd that we need to do this manually; surely somebody else has had this problem?
I.e. chef-client::service should probably take care of this.
