Windows Fax and Scan does not accept UNC paths or network paths with mapped to a drive letter when folder is located on a NAS (Network Attached Server) Replication steps: - Open network a folder (e.g. \\DNS323\Volume_1\Documents\Scans\) in Windows Explorer. - Folder contents is displayed in the Explorer window - Select and copy full network path in the address bar - Open Windows Fax and Scan application (%windir%\system32\WFS.exe) - In the main menu select Tools->Scan Routing... - Select checkbox "Use a network folder" - Paste selected network folder path (e.g. \\DNS323\Volume_1\Documents\Scans\) - Click "Save" Error is displayed: "\\DNS323\Volume_1\Documents\Scans\ is not a valid server share" Expected result: Valid UNC path is accepted. Similarly, the same error is received when a part of the UNC path is mapped to a drive letter.
