If the map is correct, M: should already point to `\cad\cad2\drawings2\`.

example: `M:/myFolder` maps to `\cad\cad2\drawings2\myFolder`

Also, you may need to run the service under a user that has access to the folder.

> If anyone comes back to this on Windows, the Ignition service cannot be run under the LocalSystem account when using credentials for network drives. This is a limitation of the Tanuki Wrapper. [wrapper.share.\<n\>.\* Properties - Java Service Wrapper](https://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/prop-share-general.html#account) Use a virtual service account, or named user account instead of LocalSystem for wrapper.ntservice.account and the credential mapping of the network drive should work.
