SOLVED The source directory doesn't exist Win32 last error = 2 error

[Ben Radlinski]

I've checked the other threads related to this issue and they did not provide any insight. I recently moved our storage to a new linux-based NAS device. All users in our company have read/write access and Domain Admins have full control. Ever since I moved the applications to new folders I get the "The source directory \\storage\applications\SCCM-Apps\7Zip\x64\ doesn't exist or the SMS service cannot access it, Win32 last error = 5 SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER 4/9/2021 5:07:51 PM 10232 (0x27F8)" error when I attempt to deploy any applications in the endpoint mgr console. I am able to browse the the folders I need to access from the from our one and only SCCM server. I've confirmed the SYSTEM account has full access to the share. I've turned off UAC on the server. I've added all of the recommended AV exclusions including the GPO. The paths are correct and the folders exist. Any other places I can look?

Many NAS will NOT work with CM as it seem to need certain windows functions that doesn't exist within *nux NAS.
You can however map the NAS as a ISCSI drive to your CM server and access the files that way.

This server is a Hyper-V VM, so I'm probably going to end up expanding the drive and moving everything local. Thanks for the information re NAS and CM.
