  • 1.  Cannot enter UNC path in Paperless Office setup

    Posted 01-11-2024 16:32

    I've had this problem once in the past, and can't remember what it is.  I'm upgrading a client to 2021 (don't ask) and in the paperless office journal and register setting when assigning the network folder it won't let me type it in (I'm entering in the full UNC path).   I  am on the new sage server where 2021 is, and using that server's workstation.

    If this is Advanced / Premium, make sure the service is running using a domain account that has appropriate permissions (we use local admin, plus whatever network permissions are required).

    Jane I've run into this. It's validating the path from the server with the account running the Sage App Server. If you have to prove it to IT, login to the server's desktop using the service account and try to browse in File Explorer using same UNC path. You'll get prompted for credentials or get some kind of permissions error.

    Happened to me in November.  I kept entering the path that I KNEW was the correct path.  IT had set up the folders for me to mimic the older installation (migrating to a new server).  Got their IT staff on a zoom call to illustrate what was happening.  Turned out the Identical (except server name) was not quite identical.  Pie in my face......  Verify the path you are using!!!!

    I open the path in Windows Explorer, then copy / paste into the Paperless screen.  No typos that way.  :-)

    Thank you all for the replies.  A share had to be set up ... which I am not smart enough to understand why that would be required.

    That would do it!

    UNC's are structured as:

    \\ServerName\ShareName\FolderPathUnderTheShare\...

    Thanks @Kevin Moyes.  I need to invest in a For Dummies book.
