wpi Network Wizard Help


Recommended Posts

Hi just a simple question i think

is the network wizard main network page on WPI 8.03 there to enable users to be added to the unnattended startup?

if so, do i need to add any other information to add users anywhere else or is the wpi network wizard user interface the only place i need to add users?

the reason i am asking is i have tried to map a network drive with a vbs script, the script works on the machine but once i use the same script during unnattended install i get a error saying something like I have a problem with permission?

the following is the VBSscript

Dim WSHNetwork

Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "y:", "\\Nas400_743260\business"

I think its because i am starting my machine as default administrator and not the user who has access to this mapped share.

thanks in advance for any help

The wizard is meant to create users and any network settings. This is the preferred method an IT admin should use. You can make a list of several users ahead of time and pick whose computer you are installing for at install time.

{JSCRIPT}=CreateWindowsUser(Name,Password,Administrator)

Usage: {JSCRIPT}=CreateWindowsUser("Mark","hkS8l23M",true)

Note: Password is optional. Administrator=true/false. Switch user to take affect.

is the other option.

{JSCRIPT}=MapNetworkDrive(Letter,Path,Reconnect)

Usage: {JSCRIPT}=MapNetworkDrive("T:","\\Server\Share",true)

Note: true or false for Reconnect at logon.

is the built in method instead of the script.

If you map the drive before logging into the user account then it will not work. Use the "Load desktop before install" setting.
