Set Windows RDS User Profile disks to Isilon CIFS share. Get the error: "Could
not create the template VHD. Error Message: The RPC server is unavailable.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)."
We are trying to setting up Windows Remote Desktop Services to store the User Profile Disks to a CIFS share on the Isilon. When trying to set the User Profile disk location to the share, we get the error: "Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)." This setting is under Server Manager> Remote Desktop Services> Overview > QuickSessionConnect> Properties > User Profile Disks. Per some research, the RDS connection seems to use SMB3, so not sure if Isilon still has SMB01 enabled which may cause a conflict. Verified Share and security settings. Tried disabling SMB1 on Isilon. We are able to redirect internally on Windows boxes. Is there a reason why it will not work on the Isilon through CIFS?
I logged a ticket with both EMC Support and MS Premiere support and came to the conclusion that it would not work because remote mapping of RDS UPD requires full SMB3 support which the Isilon and other Netapp devices do not fully support. It requires a Windows Server share

I do have the same problem.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
