I am trying to make a scheduled backup job to my qnap NAS shared network drive.
In the qnap I have created a user administrator and given it the exact same password aa for my windows server administrator
I made a shared folder on the qnap and gave qnap user administrator r/w to this folder.
From a PC I try to access this folder it asks me for a login and password I give the administrator user and password I just made and I get access to the folder, thus proving the login details.
I know the server login is good as I can access the server with it
Now when I try to create a scheduled job in wbadmin I can select the network drive and enter the the credentials I made on the qnap.
so far no problem the last step wbadmin does is try to create the job and fails with error "the user name or password is invalid
How is this possible I have just tested both and they worked and they are identical for both the server and the NAS.
This appears to be a mega bug in the wbadmin software and where can I download a patch for this bug. I am amazed they didn't discover this in their testing before releasing the software
I did try to use "access control" but in Microsoft's wisdom they have greyed this option out. extremely clever of them ... NOT
