I have a workflow that uses the Directory tool to reference a Network Drive (NTFS). The workflow was built on our server box. It runs successfully in Designer but when I save to our private gallery I receive the error message "Invalid Directory [...] The system cannot find the path specified". I've been scouring the community for about a day and cannot find a resolution. Hoping someone out there has worked through this. I have tried the following without a resolution.
Change the path to UNC in workflow dependencies
Validated the credentials on the server Admin page are the same as the user credentials used in Designer
Attempted to save the workflow with the "Set workflow credentials" option
Changed the server configuration to "Run As" the user credentials. Also turned off the "Run As" option.
Ensured the user could "Log on as a batch job"
Changed the Alteryx Service to log on as the user credentials
While I cannot be certain, people typically don't want to use the same credentials on the server as what you log in as on their desktop. However, there could be a firewall issue happening. Is the server on the same vlan, or is it housed in a datacenter somewhere? It was not an issue for us, but I can see there may be being a security issue.
