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.

what about turning off the security policy described in this article?

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 :)

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.
