"Source Target Not Found" VVScheduler Windows 10

[hyounker]

Doing a search for this problem brings 100s of results that have absolutely nothing to do with the problem. In addition, the few topics I've found that address this error are never completed to a fix.

I am running:
ViceVersa PRO 2.5 Build 2518
VVScheduler 2.1.0.0
Windows 10 Version 1709 OS Build 16299.248

The profile performs a Replication of one large folder that contains many smaller folders. The source is located in another city with access provided via VPN. The target is a SATA hard drive connected locally via USB.

The profile is scheduled to run once a day at 6pm in VVScheduler.

Running the profile via ViceVersa PRO is always successful.
Running the profile via the "Run Task" button in VVScheduler is always successful.
However, the profile fails nearly every day with the subject error when running as scheduled at 6pm. Occasionally, it will work. This scheduled task was created in early January and worked until approximately February 5th. I cannot find any correlation of dates versus changes of any kind.

The computer hosting ViceVersa PRO and VVScheduler is rarely used for anything else.

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Please see if this could be the issue:

ViceVersa PRO version 3 now supports re-mapping drives in the profile settings if needed.

Neither of these are the problem. Again, it works fine when I hit the "Run Task" button in VVScheduler.

Source: \\192.168.0.100\E\Images\2018\Q1\
Target: E:\Q1\

Again, this worked for about a month.

I didn't realize that I was not logged in for that last post. That was me.

Also, because you mentioned it, I downloaded ViceVersa PRO 3.0. Now it's telling me that I need to purchase another license?

Hi, I think it's an issue with accessibility to \\192.168.0.100\E\Images\2018\Q1\
Re version 3, you are able to reinstall version 2.5 if you prefer.
thanks

Every other method of connecting to that drive is successful. As a matter of fact, I waited to get the email with the failure report, then immediately started VVScheduler and hit "Run Task". Worked perfectly. You have a bug, or something here.

Is there a log file that would help?

Or, rather than upgrading, maybe I should ask about a refund.

Hi, you can setup a log for this profile in ViceVersa PRO -> profile settings -> execution.

Have you maybe tried the VVEngine scheduler:

Same issue?

thanks

There was a recent change with Windows 10 1709 and Server 2016 that tightened security accessing SMB2 guest shares. What used to be ok now fails.

Here is the relevant info:

check out this site: support.microsoft.com/de-ch/help/4046019/guest-access-smb2-disabled-by-default-in-windows-10-server-2016

I ran into this on a customer's network where they had a third party machine/service that was not joined to the domain but had a public shared folder that needed to be written to. The 1709 Upgrade caused this share to fail all the time until I patched the registry as specified.

Hope this helps.
