After the Microix Server Component is successfully installed, a new Microix Share directory will be created on the root of your "C" or "D" drive. It includes the setup files for the user workstation installation and some additional folders that are used during upgrades.

The Microix Share Folder will be shared automatically during the server installation and is given default read/write permissions to the user "Everyone". There are times when the installation process fails to perform this task due to security issues. Follow the instructions below to manually share this folder and grant the required permissions to access the folder. The Microix Share Folder can be relocated to another drive by simply copying the entire folder and pasting it to a new location. The directory should be made available to every workstation with read/write privileges.
