Article summary

You can specify directory paths to be added as trusted directories on a mounted network file system.

Add the directory path.
- Specify the server name that has a network share or the name of the network share:
  sadmin trusted –i \\server-name\share-name
- Specify all network shares by all servers:
  sadmin trusted –i \\*
Paths can include the wildcard characters to specify file paths and file names. When using wildcards, specified strings must match a limited set of file paths or file names. If the specified string matches many files, we recommend you revise the string.
Paths can include the * and ? wildcard characters. When specifying a trusted directory, \\10.10.10.10\*****\User2, \\10.10.10.10\????\User2, \\10.10.10.10\*AD*\* and \\10.10.10.10\?AD?***\User1 are allowed while \\*\AD\User1, \\*.10.10.10\AD*\User1, and \\10.**10.10\AD*\User1 are not supported.
