This article applies to Security Event Manager (formerly Log & Event Manager).
When using the root of a share, the exportsyslog command fails to export with the below errors:

Security Event Manager

There is an error in the script that is run when the exportsyslog command runs.

Instead of using the root of the share, put the files one level deeper.

For example instead of \\server\share, use \\server\share\folder.
