Creating Shadow Folders

Vault 3.1.8 - Server installed on Windows Server 2003 Standard.

When I try to create a shadow folder on a local drive I get

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at VaultShadowFolder.VaultShadowFolderService.UpdateWorkingFolderAssociations(String strServerWebPath, Int32 repID, ArrayList associations)
at VaultShadowFolder.VaultShadowFolderService.AddShadowFolderAssociation(Int32 repID, String repPath, String localPath, Boolean readOnly)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

When I try to create a shadow folder on another machine I get

The path that you specified is not accesible from the server machine. Association cannot be made.

I found plenty of posts regarding this and have tried everything. Both the Vault and VaultShadow web services are running with a domain account that has the priveleges described in http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=188.

I am stumped. I need to get shadow folders implemented.

TIA,

Jon

Umm... I changed the IIS properties on the VaultService and VaultShadowFolder web services to use ASP.NET 1.1 instead of 2.0 and it started working.

It's amazing how the weekend can clear one's head!
