    I created a File Channel for a file system on a Windows VM.  I have tried both the Local and Remote File Channel Types but neither seems to recognize my files.  Has anyone set a File Channel up for a Windows VM before?

      Your setup looks correct.  Is Landmark running as a domain user that has been granted access rights to the \\kerry\Separation share?  We had to change the Landmark setup so that it ran as a domain user instead of as a local machine user so that we could reach across the network.

        Figured out what I was doing wrong.  I can access the VM machine as remote, but I had the wrong user.  I validated this by opening up a cmd window from the IPA server and tried logging in as the other user, the other user did not have a home directory on the VM machine.  The user I am now logging in as was setup a while ago by our windows administrator as a FTP user.  The second thing I was doing wrong was I had the wrong directory path.  The path I was originally given was just an alias.  I was also able to validate the path using the same cmd window, ftp'd in as the new user.

          Rick, what did you do to change the Landmark setup? I have a similar problem to this with e-mail. Did you just change the service ownership? Or is there anything else needed?

            Eric,

             It required a change in Lawson Security.  See the attached.
