ERROR Directory does not exist when setting up DataLoad (4338891)

When attempting to create a new data loader via the website using a drive path that exists on Server2, the error message "Directory does not exist" is returned.To resolve this issue, share the directory out and use a UNC path instead of a drive path. Additionally, ensure the Archive Manager Service Users Group has Full Control access to the folder.

If the Archive Manager Service Users Group is not added to the Folder explicitly with Full Control, then the Configuration Manager will not be able to access it.

To resolve this issue, share the directory out and use a UNC path instead of a drive path. Additionally, ensure the Archive Manager Service Users Group has Full Control access to the folder.

1. Share the Directory:
   - Go to Server2.
   - Locate the directory you want to use.
   - Right-click on the directory and select "Properties."
   - Navigate to the "Sharing" tab.
   - Click on "Share" and follow the prompts to share the directory.

2. Use a UNC Path:
   - Instead of using a drive path (e.g., `D:\DataLoader\Path`), use the UNC path (e.g., `\\Server2\DataLoader\Path`).

3. Grant Access Permissions:
   - Right-click on the shared directory and select "Properties."
   - Navigate to the "Security" tab.
   - Click on "Edit" and then "Add."
   - Add the "Archive Manager Service Users" group and ensure it has Full Control permissions.
   - Verify that the "Local Administrators" group also has Full Control permissions.

4. Confirm Local Path Access:
   - Launch the Archive Manager Configuration Editor on Server2.
   - Ensure the `DataExportDirectory` is set to a local path on Server2 (e.g., `C:\ArchiveManager\Export\`).
   - Confirm that the `ArchiveManagerServiceUsers` group has Full Control access to this directory as well.
