AsciiIO object not initialized (cannot find filepath) using new file server (Windows Server 2012)

Hi Everyone,

We recently updated our fileserver to Windows Server 2012. This is not the server that AX2009 is running but only hosts files. We are using the same server name and copied the files over exactly the way they were on the old server and now a few of methods (ran in batch server side) will not initialize the AsciiIO object class. After looking into it more it seems that it cannot find the filepath on the fileserver (validated with WinAPIserver). Now the strange thing is i can literally copy and paste the filepath from my code into windows explorer and navigates correctly. (I am using @"\\Server1\K_drive\folder\folder\file.csv", not the mapped drive letter.) I'm assuming there is a setting in windows server 2012 that is blocking the AOS from accessing the folder. At first i figured it was a firewall issue so i added the AX32Serv.exe file to the expections, but i am still having the same issue! I have no idea what to do next. Can you help?

I would check permissions. That you can read the file doesn't prove that the AOS service account is allowed to do it too.

Right now all permissions checked except for 'special permissions' and 'full control' on the entire directory where the file in my code is trying to write to. I even added the AOS computer to the permissions specifically on the folder that i am trying to read/write to...
