Using UNC Paths for the Job Results Directory

Applies To:

  • SharePoint Server Agent

  • Windows File System Agent

  • Exchange Database Agent 2007 and later (if configured in a Cluster Continuous Replicator (CCR) environment)

You can use a UNC path for the job results directory. When assigning UNC paths, the designated directory must be ONE level below the directory which is shared for this purpose:

Correct: \\machine1\<share_name>\job_results\ is shared. Then specify \\machine1\<share_name>\job_results\job_results_1 as the job results directory.

Incorrect: \\machine1\<share_name>\job_results\ is shared. Then specifying \\machine1\<share_name>\job_results as the job results directory is not supported.

Notes

  • The SharePoint user account must have full access to the job results folder on the UNC path.

  • System State backups are not supported for job results directory on the UNC path.

  • You may receive errors when you try to access the shared job results directory that is hosted on cold storage.
