You cannot use UNC paths and mapped network drives for external CA certificate specifications on Windows hosts performing remote installations. Remote installation methods include VxUpdate and the setup wizard push installation option. If you attempt to use a UNC path or mapped network drive, the precheck and the installation operations fail due to inaccessible paths.
