Distribution point won't mount when trying to replicate

Hello!

We are still configuring our instance and we are having issues replicating. When trying to replicate I noticed that we have this error via the log:

So the issue I am noticing that I only have a folder named CasperShare not CasperShareDAV. Is there away to change this?

[roiegat]

Yes. Go into the Distribution Point settings and go under the "File Sharing" Section and change the share name to CasperShare.

Good luck.

[BigToeKnee810]

I don't see where to do that. I'm a noob.

[BigToeKnee810]

So our distribution point is Cloud based and a local Mac. I am assuming you mean going to server and enabling that for File Sharing.

But that has been done. The issue is Casper Admin is not pointing to that location and pointing to /CasperShareDAV which does not exist.

@BigToeKnee810 I think he meant, in the JSS go into computer management > file share distribution points and change the DP settings in there.

Once you click on the DP you want to edit, you'll see the different tabs for various settings. One of them is the name of the share on your DP.

But this should effect the JDS? I am trying to replicate the JDS not a File Distribution Point. I created one still cannot connect.

[perrycj]

@BigToeKnee810 Oh, a JDS? I didn't know that. They have their own settings in the JSS, near file share distribution settings in computer management. Have you poked around in there to check the share name(s)?

[BigToeKnee810]

@perrycj Yep, their isnt an option to change it.

Figured it out*
