Here's my Test lab Environment setup -Windows 2008R2 Standard
Computer name: AESDC - AD, DHCP, DNS (Domain CORP or corp.contoso.com)
Computer name: AESFileShare-SQL2008R2(Application & compatibility Databases) DomainUsers have Read/write to the Database
FileShares on AESFileShare(Domain Users have modify at the Share and NTFS level)
\\AESFileShare\AESRepository - Software Repository
Computer name: AESWin7
Logged in as CORP\User1 (local admin to machine)
No Mapped Drives (Found in past that you can't connected to the same server with different credentials. If you do oy need to you the IP address to the computer or a DNS alias)
Connected to AdminStudio directly to the Database(AES) on AESFileShare-no IIS server involved
Used sa user account the connection to database on AESFileShare
Enabled Software Repository
\\AESFileShare\AESRepository
User: CORP\AESAdmin or
AESAdmin@corp.contoso.com(Not local admin on AESWin7)
I get the following error message after setting the logging to level 3
DWORD ImpersonateNetworkResource() - Called: Resource: \\AESFileShare\AESRepository
bool CCreateCatalogRepository::VerifyLocation()
CString CCreateCatalogRepository::GetRepositoryPath()
Create file failed with error: 5
Using \\10.0.0.3\AESRepository gives me the same error message above
Using \\AESFileShare\AESRepository and User CORP\User1 (local admin and modify access to share I get the message below
DWORD ImpersonateNetworkResource() - Called: Resource: \\AESFileShare\AESRepository
CImpersonateWindowsUser::ImpersonateNetworkResource - Failed in call to WNetUserConnectio. 1219, \\AESFileShare\AESRepository
I hope this message helps.
