Hi,
I have see this a number of times and is generally related to the security policy on the source server. If the UF is running as system or an AD account, like larkshman239 says, check that it has permissions.
There is more detailed set of security requirements relating to the security descriptors that are used to allow access, these differ on a Win2008 box and above. Read the following and check to make sure that they are set to allow access.
I appreciate that this relates to setting the SDDL however it tells you how to understand whether you have the required access. I have seen this on a windows 2016 server so it is relevant.
