how to move htdocs to a file server (windows)

Hi,
I am running Apache on a Windows Server and I would like to move my web root to our file server (also running Windows Server). I was hoping someone has done this before and could provide a few tips on how to do this correctly? From what I've gathered, this is what I think I'd need to do:

- Create an Apache domain service account and assign that as the service account for the Apache service - this also automatically adds the right for that account to log on as a service if I remember correctly
- Move the webroot folder to the file server
- Give the Apache domain service account access to the webroot on the file server - Update the document root in the apache.conf file to use a UNC path (i.e. \\servername\share) to the server share containing my webroot

What I don't know:
- Do I need to add the domain service account to the Administrators group or any other group on the server running Apache? - Or, instead of the above, do I need to give the Apache domain service account permission to the Apache Program Files folder on the Apache server? Does that account even need to have access to that folder?
- Do I need to adjust any other permissions?
- Am I missing anything else?

I'd appreciate any help!!

Thanks!
Mike
