TFS (Service) Drop Location for Build not accessible

Question

I am using TFS (Service not Server) for my source control needs. I am trying to create new build definition using network share (\\pc\share with full permissions) as my drop location, however it looks like whatever I do i am getting bad user name/password error. does TFS supports Network Share feature?

Answer 1

If you are using the hosted build controller, you cannot use a UNC path for drop folder. However, if you set up your own build controller accessing the Tfs Service to do your build, you can specify a UNC folder identifiable by the build server. Use a Source Control folder instead.
