Hello,
I've created a few reports with data sources that were initially connected via a mapped drive connection on my local machine (ie. "H:\variousfolders\report\data\"). These were published to the Power BI Service and scheduled refreshes work fine from the PBI Service when running through a personal gateway running on my local machine.
We've since created an enterprise gateway to run these reports from. Within the reports themselves I've changed the data source to the full UNC path, published the updated reports to the Power BI Service, and I've confirmed that refreshes within Power BI Desktop work on both my local machine and on the machine with the enterprise gateway (this confirms that the UNC paths are correct).
Within Power BI Service, I've also ensured that the UNC folder that the files are connected to was added to the gateway as a data source folder:
However, when I try to set up a scheduled refresh on the enterprise gateway, I'm receiving the following error messages in gateway connection:
Creating a new report with these exact same files, but using the UNC path to initially connect them in the report works fine when publishing it to the Power BI Service:
Is there an addtional step I'm missing when moving a data source from a mapped drive to UNC, or is this indeed a bug that needs to be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
