    I am new to Windows Server Core. I currently use Windows Server Core 2008 R2.

    I want to install software on the Server Core machine and the installable files are located on an UNC path that I have access to. I keep getting  “The network path was not found.” When I try to invoke the setup within the full UNC path.

    \\comuptername\sharename\folder\setup.exe

    I tried the below command from the Server Core Cmd Prompt and it does not work. 

    DIR  \\comuptername\sharename\folder

    I get this error, “The network path was not found.”. 

    • The Share that I am trying to access from the Server Core is on another Server.
    • Appropriate permissions are in place.
    • I tried the full qualified name of the Server with its domain name etc but still get the same message
    • The dir command works from another server and my laptop that runs Win7. 

    Is this the right method? Am I missing something?

    Regards- Muralidhar
