The artifact directory does not exist in VSTS releases

I have an issue with the Release in VSTS. Somehow the path is not recognized although I'm sure it exists and accessible. I've tried to share the folder to everyone and changed service account of VSTS Agent but it's still the same. Anyone has ideas? Thanks

It can happen if the password of the account factoryvm-az179\buildguest is changed recently and is not updated for the agent. If this is the case, please consider re-configuring the agent.

Check the agent queue for your release.

I had the same error message about FactoryVM and password - I was attempting a nuget push using a network share. It worked great while the nuget task was part of the build (skipping artifacts and pushing from build dir), but started failing when I moved it to a release and had to get the packages from the fileshare for my artifacts.

Turned out that my newly created release was using a Hosted Queue (VS2017) while I was using a Private Agent. In the (currently new) editor this can be set by clicking on the "Agent Phase" block under "Tasks". Switching the queue solved this issue.

change agent
