Hi hubertluczak, Usually in this case you have a file access/sharing issue in relation to your UNC path. If the UNC path depth doesn't match the folder share depth of Windows it can cause this issue. Due to the way you've taken the screenshot I can't see the UNC path, but its the network share path to the project hosted on your main ES. This can normally be fixed by archiving the project, deleting the project from ES, then retrieving the project again to the same location on the main ES. Clear the project path from your other ES's while the project is deleted. To avoid in the future, share the host folder first before making/restoring the project. |

It could be a part of it, you should always have your host file set up properly. More likely I think the UNC path is not set up. If your UNC path is blank or doesn't match the shared folder path it will cause this issue. See screenshot of example of UNC path in SIMATIC Manager. |

Yes, according to my earlier response, follow this procedure and let me know if it works: 0 confirm your root folder your project is stored in is shared in Windows. 1 Archive the project 2 delete the project from ES 3 retrieving the project again to the same location on the main ES. Clear the project path from your other ES's while the project is deleted. To avoid in the future, share the host folder first before making/restoring the project.
After this the unc path should be generated and you can do multi engineering. |

I tried but still the same. Should I have UNC path visible on local ES or only on remote? |

It is viewable on both once it's set up correctly. Are you using the same user account and password on both ES (or using domain groups with Simatic Logon), or do you have to type in a user/password to access the folder when browsing through Windows to the folder share? If you have to log into the share, you have to resolve that first by getting your users consistent. |

OK I understand and agree that might be part of the problem. I recall having that situation a number of years ago when PCS7 7.1 was still new, but I haven't faced it since then. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I did to resolve it. If I had to guess, it probably came down to lots of fiddling with user permissions. Hopefully another forum member has a better memory or more recent experience to help. Is there any chance to get every PC on the same domain? Good luck. |
