it can work but with the caveat that the apache process must be running as
a user that exists on both the local machine and in the domain - otherwise
it won't work at all.

Subject: Re: Open repository located on a network share in Windows
I can tell you that a network drive letter probably won't work. Windows
drive letter mappings are stored as part of the profile of Each User, they
are not machine wide (haven't been since nt4 i believe). This means that
even if you log in, make the mapping, Apache can't see it (unless it's
running in the same environment, not as a service).
The UNC path should work though. Can we get the error message in that
case?
