i have a problem of "access denied" if i try to launch the program (that
open a kernel mode driver) from a remote directory on the network
if i lauch the same program on a local directory (drive C: of my hardrive
for example), there is no problem.

i have verified that i have all the control access on the remote directory
but it seems that the problem is the path name
\\??\UNC\etc..... used to locate the .sys driver that caused the access
denied.
is there a way to solve this or is it a "normal" limitation ?
thank you

thank you,
i am new on driver developement and for now, i launch the driver on the same
directory that the program that execute it.
i wanted to use remote directory to access sources files et executable files
from the test computer to developpement computer with share directory on
network for "direct debuging" without copying files from a computer to the
other.
i can else create the executables files (from the developpement computer) to
the test computer with a share directory on the test computer (and not in
developement computer as now) or add to the 'makefile' file, lines to copy
executables files (.sys & .exe) to the test computer.

Use WinDBG and look up "Mapping Driver Files" in the help. WinDBG has the
ability to take a driver file from you development machine and use it to
replace the current driver on the test machine. You install the driver on
your test system and from then on when the debugger sees that the driver is
being loaded it will grab the new version from you development system and
use it.

note that .kdfiles only works on XP and later. if you are testing on win2k,
you still have to copy it over manually.

Another restriction is that .kdfiles won't work for boot-time drivers.
