UNC path to the vault database does not work.

[manojpotluri]

I created a Vault database file on a windows share and tried to register the vault with a unc path and it fails to register.

Hi @manojpotluri,

can you please provide more information, such as the logs or a specific screenshot of the message when it fails to register?

In general UNC paths are not supported currently but they may work in some circumstances, I'd recommend you map a drive and see if that works.

Hello @JustinGrote

Here is the error i am seeing when i try to register a test vault database created on a share location.

I tried the Mapped Drive suggestion as well and it errors out too

appreciate you taking time looking into this.

Thanks, Manoj.

This looks like something that would be deeper into SecretManagement itself, not my extension. Can you provide the output of $error | export-clixml $home\desktop\error.clixml after running the command and attach the clixml to this issue?

Attaching the Zipped error.clixml file here. please let me know if you need more information. error.zip

I don't think your system is fully loading the module correctly, your second error is: and the details are: Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

It looks like you're doing this on Powershell 5.1, have you tried it in Powershell 7?

Hello @JustinGrote
yes i am using powershell 5.1 on a windows 2016 datacenter server, i will try to install PowerShell 7 and see if works.

Thanks, Manoj.

Hello @JustinGrote I installed PowerShell version 7 and tried to register a vault with a shared location and it worked :) .
