Hi Everyone,

I've started using FreeFileSync couple months ago to sync data between two network locations and it's been working amazingly so far. Recently I've tried to change the Scheduled task to "Run whether user is logged in or not" however it comes out with an error when trying to access another network location:

[12:16:38] Info: Cannot determine free disk space for "\\archsvr\d$".
Error Code 5: Access is denied. [GetDiskFreeSpaceEx]
[12:16:38] Error: Unable to connect to "\\archsvr\d$".
Error Code 5: Access is denied. [WNetAddConnection2]

Has anyone run into a similar issue before and is there a solution to that?

Thanks!
Michal
