Give NCM write access to a network share

To set up the config archive, store firmware images, or save NCM job results to a network share, you must specify credentials to give NCM write access to the network share.

If you use a domain account for the network share directory, NCM does not support using smart cards, tokens, or any other form of two-factor or multi-factor authentication.

1. Click Settings > All Settings.
2. Under Product Specific Settings, click NCM Settings.
3. Under Advanced, click Advanced Settings.
4. Under Network Share Settings, select Use Custom Credentials to Give NCM Writer Access.

5. Enter the credentials, and click Validate Credentials.

   If the validation fails, verify that the NCM-related account has Windows permissions for the network storage.
