FSLogix Unable to access logging directory

Question

Hi.

I installed the folder(LogDir): \DATTUM-FS-03\FSLogix\Logs\%computername%

After restarting the server, the folder is created, but the logs do not appear

I gave full rights to everyone
also gave full rights to domain computers, domain users

If change the directory to \DATTUM-FS-03\FSLogix\Logs\DATTUM-RDP-12

All logs appear.

What the problem?

Update:

I am testing further.

I replaced the computername with the username

Folders began to be created and logs were written.

I also have a policy enabled: Access network as computer

Maybe this is the problem?

But I still don't understand why the variable works with the %username%, but not with the %computername%.

Hello @Андрей Михалевский ,

\computername\share\%computername% is recommended.
important note: FSLogix will not append numerous computers logs to the same file, therefore the directory for each computer needs to be different.
The %computername% directory in this example will be created if it does not exist. Note: If there are spaces in the path (directories or folders) use quote marks as appropriate.

The UNC locations are usable as long as access is allowed to the location. The logs are written by the FSLogix service and this runs in the context of the computer. So the share must allow access to the computer account/object. The access must be granted at both the share and the NTFS permissions level.

Hello @Андрей Михалевский ,

Thanks for your information.

1.What's the advantage to set the value as %computername%?

2.Can you provide complete process of reproducing the issue?

3.If ComputerName is not specified, a random computer name is generated. This may be one possible cause.
