Environment

ControlPoint 5.x

Situation

I am attempting to copy a file from a fileshare into Content Manager via ControlPoint.

The file system connector collect.log shows the following error:

Collect Failed '\\<servername>\<folder>\<file>': Exception: Cannot create directory: \\<servername>\ControlPointTempLocation\0b5c6ac9-28ae-4b96-95a7-f6f99da6b522\e386faad2b1618e484a18ebb09fceb2b

Resolution

The error indicates the account being used by the File System Connector does not have permission to create sub directories and files beneath
\\<servername>\ControlPointTempLocation\

Please ensure that the account used by the File System Connector  is a domain service account that is also a member of the Local Administrators group. If you are still encountering permission issues then add the service account directly to \\<servername>\ControlPointTempLocation\ granting full control.

If you are still having issues you can use Windows Security Auditing or Process Monitor to help troubleshoot why the account does not have permission to ControlPointTempLocation.
