Euclidean Distance Geoprocessing Service using UNC

Question

I'm working on a geoprocessing service that performs a Euclidean Distance on some features.  The Euclidean Distance works well.  The data is properly stored in the Scratch folder. But here's the problem. If I've setup a UNC path for the Jobs folder, at the very end, after it says, "exiting", the service fails with a

java.lang.Exception: Could not service request.

It actually fails moving the data to the final UNC jobs folder.  That folder is mainly empty with some .dat files.  Also of note, we have it running on 1 server properly. But the rest of the servers, it fails on.  We're currently running 10.6.1.  Any ideas?

Here's the final messages:

* esriJobMessageTypeInformative: dtw_raster = C:\Users\ILMOCD~1\AppData\Local\Temp	esting1	esting_gpserver\jf4517a7a7ad7412aa3e10c6a5c3ccd49\scratch\EucDist_tmpNHDF1.tif

* esriJobMessageTypeInformative: ...exiting...
* esriJobMessageTypeError: Failed.
* esriJobMessageTypeInformative: java.lang.Exception: Could not service request.

OK, we resolved this issue. I was using arcpy.sa.EucDistance(filterFC, '#', arcpy.env.cellSize)  to perform this function.  But once I switched to arcpy.gp.EucDistance_sa(filterFC, dtw_raster, '#', arcpy.env.cellSize), that fixed it.

I just wish I found this solution sooner, as many hours were spent on this bug.  The Euclidean Distance function didn't fail at all. It wasn't until we used a UNC path for the Jobs folder that we had that unrelated issue copying the resulting data to the final workspace appear at the end.
