db restoration via shared folder

I was reading the article on the subject above at the
http://examnotes.net/arch/178/2002/3/329543
The question here is:-
Testing was done and I was able to restore db using EM on
a Standard Edition (SP3) and mapped drive to another
server. Unlike I was unable to do that from a Enterprise
Edtion (SP3). Why is that so?
Thanks.So, you made certain that the SQL Server service has permissions on the
share and it still didn't work? What error message did you get?

was not clear earlier.
Based on the article, I was able to backup/restore db
without any problem in MSSQL standard/enterprise edition.
The point here is the article stated that backup/restore
can't be done using Enterprise Manager. But I was able to
backup/restore db using Enterprise Manager in Standard
Edition but NOT Enterprise Edition. I was able to see the
mapped drive in the Standard Edition. Why I unable to
view the mapped drive in Enterprise Edition using the
Enterprise Manager? Is this a special feature in Standard
Edition or other setting need to be done here in order to
do so in the Enterprise Edition? Currently I am using
MSSQL 7 with sp(3) on NT4 (sp6).
Your help is much appreciated.

I assume that you used Query Analyzer for this, is that what you mean?

I won't read the article, but just be aware that it might be incorrect. Back
to the problem. Here's what I think is going on:
On one installation, the service account is the same as the one you are
logged in as. Hence, the mapped drives are the same. On the other, you are
using different accounts. The key point here is that mapped drives are per
user. And typically, you are not logged in using the same account as the SQL
Server service account. So what you perceive as a mapped drive is different
to what SQL Server does.
