NEW Unable to write to E drive

[John Millington]

Hi, Hopefully, someone can help with this frustrating issue.

SCCM has all been install and runs fine, however, there are two elements which are having issues. Automatic update rules and dell's command ingratiation for drivers.

SCCM is installed on the C drive and everything is primarily stored on the E drive. When I point the update content to the E drive it fails, when I tell dell command to store the drivers on the E drive, it fails. When I tell both to store the content on the C drive it fine.

The following is what I have tried.

Procmon - this shows no errors or access denied event to the location
patchdownloader.log shows the directory could not be created
I have played around with the permissions and now at the point where "everyone" has full control to the folder and share.

I really don't know what else I can do and sadly, Microsoft is trying to charge for support. Any suggestions would be awesome.

thanks
John

Managed to resolve this.

If anyone is having this sort of issue it is entirely a permissions issue. I was tried to store the content to the folder \\server\software\updates, software being a share I created.

The following was the permissions setup
\\server\software - everyone had read permission, domain admins had full control to the folder and share
\\server\software\updates - everyone had full control to the folder and share

Despite the updates folder having all the correct permissions and everyone having read access to the software folder and share. the account "system" needed to have read\write permission to the software folder and share.
