Hi,
The Network Service is an account like the SYSTEM account. Just add it
to the permissions on root of the drive and make sure it has at least
Read. If you are having synch errors it may need more. I have it
having write access.
If you don’t have it there, then WUS cannot see the drive when
synching.
Cheers,
Lara
