Hi , As per your description you are using the single folder on server A to collect Trace data. Please share the folder with Write Permission and on server B provide UNC path of this folder. Please let us know if this will be helpful. Warm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Hi abc67 insted of using that command (I don't know it) I would: - make sure that e:\ drive is avialiable on both servers. More over if e: drive is a mapped folder then I wouldn't use it as it will be not avialiable for service account used to host tracking service. In that case replace e: with UNC path in central administration - check permission to that location and make sure that account used to host tracking service have full permission to that path hope that this helps Mariusz Gorzoch Blog : http://mariusz.gorzoch.pl Twitter : http://twitter.com/MariuszGorzoch Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mariusz.gorzoch
