Replication Error Not Enough Permission to Path

In the ADMS Console you right click the Workgroups node and select "Enable Workgroup Replication",#

You enter the details like this for example,

Then you get this message.

"User '<servername>\AUTODESKVAULT' does not have permission to path '<servername>\<replication shared folder>\ADMS."

This happens because the User account under which the SQL instance operates does not have full control access to the shared network folder. By default, this service is the "NETWORK SERVICE" . So giving the NETWORK SERVICE account access to the replication shared folder addresses this issue.

This requirement is documented in the Vault Implementation Guide as a "Note" in the "Set Up Multiple Site Environments" section. Also See the Vault Wiki "Note: Both the user account under which the Autodesk Vault server runs and the user account under which the SQL instance operates need full control access to the shared network folder."

I ran into this same issue. To clarify, the user which you need to give access to is not always "NETWORK SERVICE", it is whatever account you have set up for the SQL Server service.

To find this out, go to the Services Management console (Start->Run: Services.msc), and find the the service named:
SQL Server (AUTODESKVAULT). Double click on that, and choose the "Log On" tab. On this tab, you'll see the account you need to give full access to the replication shared folder.
