Tamer is finally blogging!

Hi, managed to fix this. Definitely UNC, and there was something else as well. Security policy did not allow me to log in interactively (using terminal services) with the user I assigned for the receive host. This is obviously required by the adapter! (Can anyone confirm?)

One more thing, The user you use needs to have "full control" on the remote share. Read/Write/Modify is not enough. I'm not sure why!!

Try to create a local account in the BTS box with the same username/password as the remote server.

Run the File Adapter in a Host running under that account.

Hi Tamer,
I read following in the BizTalk Server Help:
"It is recommended that you set strong discretionary access control lists (DACL) in the receive locations drop directories. For example, you must set read, write, delete files, and delete subfolders and files permissions to the directory where the file receive location picks up messages from, so that only authorized users can drop messages in this location. "

So " 'read', 'write', 'delete files', and 'delete subfolders and files' "
are sufficent for a Receive Location, so no Full Control is needed. I did confirm this information.
But still i got problems with an UNC-Style Receive Location.

So I am really inerterested wether you can confirm that the local security policy of the computer hosting the Receive Location share needs to add the ntaccount under which the BizTalk Server is runinng to the policy settings to allow interactive Login?
This might be the reason for my scenario to fail.

Win2003 BT2004 with all patches.

Receive Location: Share on Win2000 Server unc-style,
'read', 'write', 'delete files', and 'delete subfolders and files' are granted to the group in which also the BizTalk-user resides.

With kind regards
Jay

There is a tech article:

That consideres this issue. The documentation is a little bit missleading.

Nice one, thanks Jay. Notice the "Delete SubFolder and Files" permission it requires on the file system level. You will not get that if you only allocate read, write and modify permissions to the receive host user.

I hava a problem too. I grant "Full Control" permission of the remote share folder to "Everyone" on the remote machine. But File Adapter cann't read or write to that share. What I have to do?

Did you have a look at this

I am having a similar issue.

We are using BizTalk 2006, and configured the File Adapter recieve location to a UNC folder and included the Logon Creds as mentioned in Jay's tech article from Microsoft.

My Domain user account has full access on that UNC folder. However, when I configure the receive location this way, I still get this error.

Has anyone resolved this in Biztalk 2006 ?

Thanks.

I had the same problem but solved by setting share permission to my biztalk account.

At first I only gave the biztalk account folder rights to modify and then full. This didn't solve the case. I solved it by setting the share permissions to full for my biztalk account and then it worked.

Recap: Folder rights wasn't enough, had to set the share permissions to my biztalk account.
Share permissions is by default everyone with change and read but that is not enough!
