Always On shared network location












1















To use the wizard from SSMS, we had to provide full access to "everyone" to the shared network location.



Is there a way to avoid this and just limit the access to a specific user?



Already tried the service account but that seems not to be working.



The message received from the wizard is:




\Hostnamesync' is not a valid shared network location.

          Well it took a while but finaly found it myself. Besides the service account it also requires full access for the user of SSMS. Sounds obvious probably and indeed I thought about it earlier but since the account was already in the list of administrators and this group already had full access to the shared volume I thought it would have been enough. So what was required was just adding the SSMS user/group and service account to the advanced sharing of the SYNC folder.
